What OneAmerica does

OneAmerica is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, that operates as the largest immigrant and refugee advocacy organization in the state. It serves immigrant and refugee communities, undocumented individuals, English learners, and pro-immigrant political candidates and allies across Washington State, with base communities and organizing staff in King County (SeaTac, Tukwila, Federal Way, Kent, Burien), Yakima County, and Clark County. The organization delivers an integrated advocacy ecosystem across four programmatic pillars: grassroots organizing (building immigrant and refugee leadership); policy and campaigns (advocating for a just immigration system, inclusive education, and democracy reform at local, state, and federal levels); civic engagement (voter registration, canvassing, candidate training, and electoral mobilization through sister organization OneAmerica Votes); and immigrant inclusion (English Innovations free English classes, Washington New Americans citizenship support, and workforce development).

The organization's offerings are programmatic and service-based rather than technology products. Its digital footprint includes a multilingual website operating in 16 languages, email communications, social media channels, and field canvassing infrastructure. The English Innovations program has served 153 students since 2021 across 20 Washington cities in 12 languages. OneAmerica has no proprietary technology platform, no API, no AI/ML capabilities, and no patents or trademarks disclosed in the available data.

OneAmerica's revenue model is entirely donation-based, with no products or services sold. Revenue streams include individual donations (one-time, monthly sustaining, and legacy gifts through wills), organizational sponsorships from businesses and nonprofits, and foundation/family fund/donor-advised fund support. The organization also accepts tax-deductible stock gifts. It is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational organization (Tax ID: 20-0384893) and is affiliated with OneAmerica Votes (501(c)(4)), the OneAmerica Votes Justice Fund (state PAC), and OAV Justice for All PAC (federal PAC). The organization is co-founded by Pramila Jayapal (now a U.S. Congresswoman) and is currently led by Executive Director Roxana Norouzi. Notable track record includes securing $340 million in pandemic relief for undocumented community members through the WA Immigrant Relief Coalition, passage of the Fairstart for Kids bill (the largest child care investment in Washington State history), and winning the state's first Washington Voting Rights Act challenge in Yakima County.

Core offering

OneAmerica is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that organizes immigrant and refugee community members and allies across Washington State through grassroots leadership development, policy advocacy campaigns on immigration, education, and democracy reform, civic engagement (voter mobilization and candidate support), and direct immigrant inclusion services such as English language classes, citizenship preparation, and workforce development.

Product overview

OneAmerica is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy organization offering a unified portfolio of community organizing, policy advocacy, and immigrant inclusion services rather than a commercial technology product. The core offerings include: the 'Our Thriving Home' platform for community mobilization; organizing programs that build grassroots leadership; Policy & Campaigns addressing immigration, education, and democracy reform; Civic Engagement for voter mobilization and candidate development; and Immigrant Inclusion services including English Innovations (free English classes), Washington New Americans (citizenship support), and Workforce Development. These programs work together as an integrated advocacy ecosystem—organizing builds community power, policy campaigns drive systemic change, civic engagement elects pro-immigrant representatives, and inclusion programs help immigrants integrate and thrive. The organization also operates a sister political organization, OneAmerica Votes (501(c)(4)), and associated PACs.

Direct peers

• Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR): A statewide immigrant and refugee advocacy coalition in Illinois that combines grassroots organizing, policy campaigns, civic engagement, and integration services. Closely comparable in mission mix and member-driven model, and is the most direct state-level analog to OneAmerica.
• New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC): Statewide immigrant rights umbrella in New York that integrates policy advocacy, member organizing, voter mobilization, and integration programs. Operates a near-identical portfolio to OneAmerica — civic engagement, citizenship support, education access, and electoral work — at larger scale.
• Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA): Statewide immigrant and refugee advocacy coalition in Massachusetts that runs policy campaigns, civic engagement, English and citizenship programs, and labor/workforce initiatives. Closely parallel organization to OneAmerica across programs and structure.
• CASA: Mid-Atlantic immigrant advocacy and services organization operating across Maryland and Virginia with membership-based organizing, citizenship support, workforce, and youth programs. Strong peer by virtue of similar member-driven organizing model and integration-services mix.
• Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC): A statewide immigrant rights coalition in Colorado that combines organizing, advocacy, civic engagement, and integration services. Directly comparable in scope, geography mix (urban + rural bases), and coalition-led model.
• NAKASEC: A national Korean and Asian American immigrant rights network with affiliate state organizations that run organizing, civic engagement, and integration programs. A close peer in structure (network of state affiliates + national policy arm) and in integrating language access, citizenship, and voter work.
• California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC): Statewide immigrant policy and budget advocacy organization in California. Comparable statewide policy-advocacy remit and integration focus, though lighter on direct member organizing than OneAmerica.

Broad incumbents

• National Immigration Law Center (NILC): National immigrant rights legal and policy organization that litigates and lobbies on federal immigration priorities. Operates in the same advocacy arena as OneAmerica but at national scale and with a primarily legal/policy emphasis rather than member organizing.
• America's Voice: National immigration reform advocacy organization focused on federal policy and media campaigns. Comparable in policy advocacy aims and coalition approach, but does not run direct organizing or integration services.
• Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS): A national refugee resettlement and integration organization with legal services, resettlement support, and advocacy programs. Overlaps with OneAmerica on integration, citizenship, and refugee support, but operates nationally with significant resettlement operations.
