Mapping Our Impact
Over the last 30 years, ILAP has helped tens of thousands of immigrants who have come to Maine from over 150 countries around the world. The map below shows the countries of origin of our clients. We are proud to work and learn from the incredible immigrant communities who have made Maine home.
When ILAP began as a volunteer-led effort in 1993, the organization helped 15-20 immigrants per year.
ILAP became a standalone organization in 2000, serving 826 immigrants through direct legal assistance and 700+ through education and outreach events.
In 2022, we supported 4,719 immigrants and their family members and benefitted many more through our advocacy efforts.
ILAP’s History
On a winter evening in 1993, the Honorable Peter Darvin invited Beth Stickney to come up from Boston to meet. Peter, then an attorney with Pine Tree Legal Assistance, had seen a large increase in requests for immigration legal aid and knew that existing services would not be able to meet the demand. By the end of the meeting, ILAP was born.
What began as the seed of an idea led to the start of a volunteer-led initiative that has grown into a 25+ staff organization serving thousands of immigrants and their families every year.
2022 Financials
