Amani Family Services

What Amani Family Services does

Amani Family Services, Inc. is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, that delivers social services exclusively to refugee and immigrant families and individuals in Allen County. Founded in 2006 as Crime Victim Care of Allen County and rebranded in 2015 to its current name, the organization operates a portfolio of community-based programs including the NALA immigration legal services program, citizenship preparation classes, cultural competency training for external organizations, victim advocacy, and the Welcoming Fort Wayne community initiative. Service delivery is direct, in-person and by phone, executed by approximately 22 staff members including caseworkers, community navigators, immigration attorneys, and victim advocates, with multilingual coverage in English, Burmese, French, Arabic, and Spanish.

The organization's underlying "platform" is its proprietary Cultural Competency Framework and a multilingual service-delivery model that functions as a domain-specialized operating system for multicultural casework rather than a software product. There is no disclosed API, integration, or proprietary technology product; the technology footprint is a Squarespace-hosted public website plus a referral-based intake process. Distribution is exclusively direct-service from a single Fort Wayne office, with an explicit no-ability-to-pay policy funded entirely through grants and donations.

Amani generates revenue through three streams: government and foundation grants (recurring restricted and unrestricted), individual and organizational charitable donations, and program services supported by grants. Key funders identified include Welcoming America, American Immigration Council, St. Joseph Community Health Foundation, and the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne. Go-to-market is community-led: referrals, community advisory board engagement, volunteer programs, and partnerships with civic and economic-development organizations such as Downtown Fort Wayne and Greater Fort Wayne Inc. No revenue, ARR, or budget figures are disclosed.
