This appropriation represents state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.
Founded in 1978, Asian Human Services states that its mission is: “To empower immigrants, refugees, and underserved communities to thrive by removing barriers and providing supports that create opportunities for life.”
You can learn more about the organization at its website.
In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $15,157,400 in total revenue. Of that, $13,418,100 came from government grants including federal, state, or local sources, making up 88.5% of total revenue.
The nonprofit listed $13,518,300 in contributions overall. It also reported $100,201 categorized under other contributions, which may include restricted donations, pledges, or bequests.
At the beginning of 2024, Asian Human Services had $8,189,490 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $18,737,600, indicating a significant 128.8% growth in overall holdings.
According to its filing, public funding remained fairly steady year-over-year, changing from $13,419,600 in 2023 to $13,418,100 in 2024 (a difference of less than 0.1%).
However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.
Asian Human Services is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.
In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.
According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
