The organization hosted informational sessions to educate the community about workplace health and safety; the eligibility requirements for safety net programs, such as the Affordable Care Act; available immigration relief; disaster relief; and the rights of immigrants.Additionally, 3,430 community members were provided assistance with tax preparation, eligibility screening and enrollment in safety net and health insurance programs, such as CalFresh (food stamps), Medi-Cal, Covered California (ACA), Healthy Families, CalWORKs, Unemployment, social security, and disaster relief resources due to the California fires.Furthermore, the organizations Department of Justice accredited staff directly assisted approximately 3,877 individuals with low-cost immigration legal consultations and legal representation. Clients were mainly farm workers and other low-income Latino immigrants who reside in Californias San Joaquin Valley and Central Coast and in Arizonas Phoenix metro area. The organization helped its constituents apply for citizenship, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), U-Visas, family petitions, and other immigration benefits. The organization also saved naturalization applicants $655,610 in United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) filing fees by assisting them with fee waivers.Unfortunately, the Trump Administrations attempt to rescind DACA in late 2017 resulted in a short time frame for certain DACA recipients to renew DACA. During the DACA renewal period from September 5th-October 5th, 2017, the UFW Foundation assisted 303 individuals with renewals; 214 (71%) of these DACA applicants were fully subsidized with the $495 filing fee, totaling $105,930 in savings for vulnerable DACA applicants.Notably, the UFW Foundation received a contract from the California Department of Social Services in 2017 to provide immigration legal services and outreach. This contract allowed the organization to subcontract with 12 other non-profit organizations in the San Joaquin Valley and Central Coast of California. This effort has led to further immigration legal services and outreach capacity building in these large rural regions. 468904 CIVIC PARTICIPATIONThe UFW Foundations civic participation and advocacy efforts reached 14,432. Through the civic participation program, farm workers became spokespeople for their communities by interacting with news media and social media, sharing their stories, and informing policymakers of the needs of farm workers and immigrants throughout the year. The organizations actions and social media campaigns were aimed to draw attention in unique ways to improve farm workers lives through immigration reform and workers rights policies.Due to a settlement reached with CalOSHA in 2015, the UFW Foundation has an MOU with CalOSHA that allows the organization to file complaints on behalf of workers when the heat regulations are not being followed by employers. As such, the UFW Foundation implemented a heat illness prevention campaign that outreached to 11,255 farm workers to inform them about their rights and encouraged them to report any violations of the heat regulations. In 2017, violations were reported to CalOsha that impacted an estimated 8,500 farm workers. 213643 WORKERS' RIGHTSThe workers rights program focused on litigation targeting two cases in California and Idaho where workers were being held under forced labor conditions. Additionally, the program developed tools where farm workers can report forced labor and other poor working conditions. 43444 3647590 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false true 15 0 true 41 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true false false true true true true true true false true false false false X Connie Perez 6618236121 29700 Woodford Tehachapi Rd Keene CA 93531 Arturo S Rodriguez President 1.00 40.00 X X 0 82194 0 Tanis Ybarra Sec/Trea 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Guadalupe Martinez Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ramon Ramirez Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gina Montoya Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diana Tellefson Torres Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 64270 0 0 64270 82194 0 false false false UNITED FARM WORKERS OF AMERICA PO BOX 62 KEENE CA 93531 FUNDRAISING, ACCOUNT 468043 ROBERT F KENNEDY FARMWORKERS MEDICAL PLAN PO BOX 47 KEENE CA 93531 MEDICAL INSURANCE 298678 2 39950 18880 4772368 4831198 HR SERVICES 50260 50260 PROGRAM SERVICE FEES 186997 186997 TAX SERVICES 7325 7325 244582 14252 14252 0 0 0 0 17232 18880 8954 8278 0 0 Rent 10447 10447 10447 5108757 255029 14252 X 0 0 0 0 64270 32135 32135 0 1593656 1344721 135285 113650 7021 6126 597 298 242316 212502 15337 14477 138533 117552 11811 9170 0 54148 54148 75706 75706 0 0 0 1226202 1176449 42793 6960 1085 1085 34101 30827 1534 1740 0 0 154717 132490 12572 9655 98586 78209 16369 4008 0 31479 17768 12535 1176 117 117 0 2468 2166 302 9894 562 9332 OUTSIDE SERVICES 254831 241173 10941 2717 FEES, LICENSE, ADVERTISING 181740 147216 18046 16478 UTILITIES 19663 17772 1024 867 TELEPHONE 17480 16456 522 502 140537 104399 17663 18475 4348550 3647590 468652 232308 1032323 1992133 0 51504 148776 494335 258615 0 0 0 0 32239 37238 20217 19018 3621 1199 236042 240624 0 0 0 195338 12296 2045402 2690881 347037 232307 347037 232307 X 915374 782991 2458574 1698365 2458574 2045402 2690881 X 760207 2 X false true X true false X 1257315 1401374 2799972 1749314 4871148 12079123 0 0 1257315 1401374 2799972 1749314 4871148 12079123 0 12079123 10407 10950 3338 24695 0 -2106 120382 -1816 40328 18725 175513 12279331 0.98370 0.97530 X false false 26132 9275 35407 35407 7081 1770 24362 28326 false 919 492 1542 7081 10034 15051 4593 2461 7711 35407 50172 230 123 386 1770 2509 3764 2194 328 4597 26132 33251 20217 19018 1199 1199 X X X X X false CA PASADENA EVENT 18780 18780 ZOOT SUIT EVENT 17332 100 17232 8860 94 36112 18880 17232 8860 94 8954 8278 Client Note 1 Client Note 1 - At the time of the filing deadline the Organization's 2017 financial statement audit was not yet completed.
