Refugee Enrichment & Development Association

What Refugee Enrichment & Development Association does

Refugee Enrichment & Development Association (REDA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 82-2023971) founded in 2017 and headquartered at 3425 Arden Way, Sacramento, California. It serves Arabic, Farsi, Dari, and Pashto-speaking refugee communities across Sacramento County through an integrated suite of ten programs spanning health and wellness, mental health counseling, social services, housing assistance, employment support, education and youth development (including the proprietary 'Golden 7' academic intervention framework), and emergency travel loans. REDA functions as the central referral hub for refugees in the county, receiving client referrals from other resettlement agencies and coordinating delivery through a vetted partner network that includes the Sacramento County Department of Health Services, UC Davis, SMAT, and Jakara.

Operationally, REDA runs with 25-27 paid staff and reaches clients via direct in-person services at headquarters, dedicated Arabic and Farsi helplines (with intake routed through Google Forms), community events such as the CalKIDS Resource Fair (offering multilingual support in 10+ languages), and an active social media presence across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Its technology footprint is modest and consists of a Shopify-based e-commerce platform supporting both one-time and recurring donations, Google Forms for helpline intake, and cloud-based case management — there is no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability.

REDA's revenue model is grant-and-donation dependent. Approximately $3.8 million in active grants (as of 2024) from government and foundation sources underwrite the bulk of operations, supplemented by individual contributions collected through a Shopify donation portal offering preset tiers from $10 to $5,000 with weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly recurring options. All services to refugees are provided free of charge. Active grants are projected to deplete by 2026, making new fundraising — either expanded grant capture or scaled individual donor acquisition — an urgent operational priority.
