In 2021, the UFW Foundation distributed $2,757,475 in pandemic financial relief to immigrants in the Central Valley and farm workers in California, Washington and Oregon. In order to address food insecurity and further protect farm workers from COVID-19, the UFW Foundation distributed food, face masks and other protective equipment in California, Oregon, Washington and Michigan through on-the-ground outreach and education. In California, the organization partnered with World Central Kitchen to distribute restaurant prepared meals and with local food banks to distribute emergency food boxes. The organization also purchased or collected food through philanthropic donations. During emergency resource distributions, farm workers and other rural community members were also provided with information about emergency relief resources, workplace rights, COVID-19 prevention, and immigrant rights. These efforts resulted in:428,592 directly reached through emergency relief events; 83,383 emergency food boxes distributed;47,025 World Central Kitchen meals provided; 1,596,752 masks distributed; and40,282 COVID-19 vaccines administered. 3686767 COMMUNITY ADVANCEMENTImmigration and Public Benefits ServicesAs the largest Department of Justice-recognized immigration legal services provider in rural California, the organization worked diligently to address farm workers and other low-income immigrants immigration legal services needs during the pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 risks to staff and constituents, our immigration legal services, public benefits enrollment and tax services strategies shifted to virtual services most of 2021. All of the service centers were open for appointment only and document drop-off in late 2021. Despite this tremendous challenge, the UFW Foundation worked on 5,447 immigration legal services cases. Additionally, the UFW Foundation provided 2,032 people with public benefits application assistance in 2021. 2782238 SYSTEMIC CHANGELeadership Development and AdvocacyThe UFW Foundation has focused significantly on lifting the stories of farm workers through traditional and digital media given the disproportionate impact that the pandemic has had on this community. The systemic change team has also focused extensively on engaging and developing the leadership skills of farm workers, children of farm workers and other community members. Constituents are engaged through house meetings (digital and in-person, utilizing COVID-19 safety measures), door to door canvassing, phone banking, and communications campaigns. Farm workers and their children throughout the country have received advocacy and story-telling training. As such, our constituents have spoken with media reporters and participated in digital meetings with health officials, congressional members and other policy-makers. They have also volunteered and recruited volunteers for food and emergency relief resource events, house meetings in preparation for advocacy efforts and other key events. Some of our advocacy efforts included successfully passing the immigration reform bill for farm workers, the Farm Workforce Modernization Act (HR 1603), in the House of Representatives with strong bipartisan support that included 30 republicans. We also supported advocacy and communications efforts to uplift The Dream and Promise Act of 2021 which would provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrant youth and TPS holders. H.R. 6, the Dream and Promise Act of 2021. As a steering committee member of the We Are Home Campaign, the UFW Foundation has been pushing for immigration to be included in the Build Back Better social spending package. As a result of ongoing advocacy efforts, legalization language that provided work permits, protection from deportation, and the ability to travel for undocumented immigrants was included the in the House version of the Build Back Better budget bill that passed on November 19, 2021. Advocacy efforts included three delegations to Washington DC in which over 30 farm worker leaders from 10 states met with lawmakers and participated in actions advocating for legalization. Additionally, the UFW Foundations advocacy at the federal level led to a $655 million grant program announcement by the USDA to help farmworkers and other food workers with pandemic-related health and safety costs. The UFW Foundation worked to advance legislation that would empower USDA to support farm workers throughout this pandemic. The program will likely begin during the summer of 2022.Another example of the impact of the UFW Foundations advocacy, communications and data work had on our advocacy is the fact that the Biden Administration started the administrative process to institute federal workplace heat standards to protect farm workers and other outdoor workers from heat death. Additionally, we achieved changes in emergency heat standards in Washington State.Digital InitiativeIn 2021, the digital initiative continued the development of various business applications on our block-chain based platform that service providers are already using, which includes DACA immigration legal services and emergency relief event registration. Farm workers were able to register for disaster relief food or pre-paid card distribution events in advance via their smart phones and staff were able to verify the individual when they arrived at the event. Additionally, staff helped enroll farm workers into its texting messaging program at resource distribution events which also allowed the organization to gain great insights into how farm workers utilize their smartphones and how they build digital trust. 1733563 15694028 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false true 28 0 true 184 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true false false true true true true true true true true true true false CA X PAM ASHLUND 3232642700 917 H St Bakersfield CA 93304 X Diana Tellefson Torres Executive Director 40.00 0.00 119077 0 11311 PAMELA ASHLUND Finance Director 40.00 0.00 117731 0 9107 ESTER CADAVID Development Director 40.00 0.00 104382 0 8797 MARIA OSORIO People Relations / Operation Direct 40.00 0.00 99591 0 8797 ERICA LOMELI CORCORAN ADOCACY & POLICY DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 94759 0 10690 FATIMA HERNANDEZ Program Director 40.00 0.00 93358 0 8796 ARTURO S RODRIGUEZ FORMER PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 68045 0 0 Teresa Romero Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tanis Ybarra President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Guadalupe Martinez Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ramon Ramirez Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrea La Rue Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 696943 57498 3 true false false RFK MEDICAL PLAN PO BOX 62 KEENE CA 93531 MEDICAL BENEFITS 1027751 ENTIDAD 3759 W AVE 40 STE K104 LOS ANGELES CA 90065 APPLICATIONS CONSULT 1539253 ADRIENNE DERVARTARIAN 5204 WHITE FLINT DR KENSINGTON MD 20895 CONSULTING 107500 3 13955 13871042 604233 13884997 HR SERVICES 2088 2088 TAX SERVICES 5955 5955 8043 10068 10068 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 165942 165942 165942 14069050 173985 10068 X 0 4503460 4503460 0 0 686396 207603 365614 113179 0 6024380 5497704 296732 229944 46307 38209 5644 2454 1030566 896209 86109 48248 558311 477029 54014 27268 0 21571 375 21096 100 14500 14500 0 0 0 2187026 2092040 93526 1460 0 321220 292794 20853 7573 52539 46856 5683 0 230304 192739 21552 16013 199046 196109 1959 978 0 0 11449 364 11085 0 27886 27886 68081 29657 38424 Inkind PPE 604233 604233 Fees 381214 282544 89362 9308 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 89699 64153 25546 EVENTS 70583 63782 6801 242975 208168 27143 7664 17371746 15694028 1213529 464189 7960494 3869958 112518 0 949961 0 1510852 2115329 0 0 0 0 39927 106752 1875627 66966 52981 1808661 191826 97781 0 0 0 12274 12274 10830833 8010755 1713184 949351 1197755 1713184 2147106 X 2060035 3509903 7057614 2353746 9117649 5863649 10830833 8010755 -3302696 48696 X false true X true false X 4871148 5362969 5593990 31170126 13893040 60891273 0 0 4871148 5362969 5593990 31170126 13893040 60891273 0 60891273 11510 22208 11094 9262 10068 64142 0 19274 -20011 2290 6100 214638 222291 61177706 0.99530 0.99740 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 15026 296936 311962 311962 62392 15598 249570 false 7615 59498 15424 15026 97563 146345 38077 297490 77120 296936 709623 1904 14875 3856 143809 164444 246666 27532 63394 3957 21564 116447 306688 306688 1476846 12511 1464335 92093 54455 37638 1808661 14069050 14069050 14069050 17371746 17371746 17371746 true 0 0 COVID Relief for Families 23440 4503460 X X false false false false false false false false false ARTURO S RODRIGUEZ FORMER PRESIDENT 68045 68045 JESUS TORRES SPOUSE OF ED 1539253 TECH CONSULTING false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information One of the partners of Entidad, an independent contract, is the Executive Directors husband.
