What CPACS does

CPACS (Center for Pan Asian Community Services, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1980 and headquartered at 3510 Shallowford Road NE in Atlanta, Georgia. It serves immigrants, refugees, and other underprivileged populations across the Southeast United States through a portfolio of community-based programs. The organization operates across at least seven service lines: Community Support, Housing (including homebuyer education at $30 per workshop), Translation, Community Health, Social & Senior Services, Youth Education, and Legal & Immigration Services, delivered by 51–100 employees capable of operating in 25 or more languages.

CPACS extends its service footprint through a medical services subsidiary, CPACS Cosmo, which enables clinical care delivery alongside the nonprofit's social-services programming. The organization also maintains active partnerships with CORE (community health fairs), the Gwinnett Coalition, ARC HealthMatters, the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), and the GATE Coalition, which collectively provide referral pipelines, co-programming, and government grant funding.

Revenue is generated through a mix of individual and institutional donations, government grants (notably through Georgia DBHDD for behavioral health programming), and program-level fees for specific services such as homebuyer workshops. There is no indication of equity funding, venture investment, or commercial product revenue; the operating model is characteristic of a mid-sized community-based nonprofit dependent on grant cycles and philanthropic support.

Broad incumbents

• Hispanic Federation: Hispanic Federation is a national Latino nonprofit umbrella providing health, education, immigration, and economic empowerment services through a network of community-based organizations. Comparable to CPACS in its integrated service model and immigrant focus, though serving a different linguistic community and operating at a broader national scale.
• International Rescue Committee (IRC): IRC is a global humanitarian organization with refugee resettlement, immigration, and integration programs across the U.S. including Atlanta. It is a broader incumbent that competes with CPACS for federal refugee funding, immigrant clients, and multilingual case management talent in the same metro.

Others

• Welcoming America: Welcoming America is a national nonprofit that supports cities and counties in building immigrant-inclusive communities through technical assistance and certification. It is a peer/ecosystem partner relevant to CPACS because it shapes municipal-level immigrant integration policy and funding that CPACS can access in the Atlanta region.
• Refugees International: Refugees International is a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy organization focused on refugee policy and funding rather than direct services. Listed as an adjacent peer because it influences the federal refugee funding environment that materially affects CPACS's refugee resettlement and immigration programs.
• United Way of Greater Atlanta: United Way of Greater Atlanta is a regional funder and convening body that distributes corporate and donor dollars across Atlanta-area human service nonprofits. As an ecosystem participant, it influences the local funding pool CPACS competes for and partners with on community initiatives.

Direct peers

• Korean American Community Services: KACS is a Chicago-area nonprofit serving Korean and broader Asian immigrant populations with social services, immigration assistance, senior programs, and youth education. Directly comparable to CPACS in pan-Asian focus, senior services, and youth education offerings, though operating in a different metro.
• Catholic Charities Atlanta: Catholic Charities Atlanta is the regional peer most directly comparable to CPACS — a faith-based nonprofit providing immigration legal services, refugee resettlement, housing counseling, and social services to immigrants and low-income populations in metro Atlanta, competing for the same client base, grants, and volunteers.
• International Institute of New England: IINE is a refugee resettlement and immigrant services nonprofit providing case management, English classes, employment services, and immigration legal aid. Comparable to CPACS in core service mix and immigrant/refugee customer base, although geographically focused on New England.
• Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC: Asian Americans Advancing Justice serves the pan-Asian American community with advocacy, civil rights, and direct services including immigration and language access support. CPACS's pan-Asian focus, Atlanta immigrant base, and language access work make this a directly comparable peer for client segments and funder relationships.
• Nationalities Service Center: NSC is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit providing legal, social, and interpretation services to immigrants and refugees. Its combination of immigration legal services, translation/interpretation, and case management mirrors CPACS's core service portfolio and immigrant/refugee customer segments.
