In 2016, the organizations Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) accredited staff directly assisted approximately 2,921 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. Additionally, the organization saved naturalization applicants over $300,000 in United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) filing fees by assisting with fee waivers. Additionally, 8,276 community members were provided assistance with tax preparation, which helped many families attain the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and with 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 drought relief resources.Furthermore, the UFW Foundations outreach in the community reached approximately 33,272 people through in person outreach activities. 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; and the rights of immigrants (regardless of immigration status). In total, 984 informational sessions and outreach activities were held.Notably, the UFW Foundation received a contract from the California Department of Social Services in 2016 to provide immigration legal services and outreach related to naturalization and DACA. 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. The UFW Foundation and its subcontractors provided 4,696 immigration legal services and reached over 15,000 immigrants through education and outreach efforts. 547927 WORKERS' RIGHTSThe workers rights program focused on the 1) development of a network of 22 organizations across the United States willing to participate in the on-going monitoring and reporting of forced labor situations; 2) the documentation and training of key staff around best practices for engaging forced labor situations; 3) the development of a social media site and radio spots publicizing the Reportalo number where farm workers can report forced labor situations; and 4) the mobilization of a network of Mexican allies to monitor for cases of forced labor from workers communities of origin. 265442 CIVIC PARTICIPATIONDue 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 thousands of workers to inform them about their rights and encouraged them to report any violations of the heat regulations. In 2016, violations were reported to CalOsha that impacted an estimated 14,650 farm workers.The Civic Participation program organized and/or participated in events involving farm workers in California, Washington, Oregon, and Arizona related to the need for the administrative relief programs (DAPA and DACA expansion) announced by President Obama on November 20th, 2014. Similarly, the organization worked on advocating for the Overtime legislation for farm workers in California. The legislation was passed and signed by Governor Brown. Lastly, the UFW Foundation launched a voter registration program in the San Joaquin Valley focused on engaging young adults and Latinos. 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 new overtime policies. 263390 2553879 true true false true false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false true 15 0 false 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 80143 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 56792 0 0 56792 80143 0 false false false UNITED FARM WORKERS OF AMERICA PO BOX 62 KEENE CA 93531 OUTREACH SUBCONTRACT ROBERT F KENNEDY FARMWORKERS MEDICAL PLAN PO BOX 47 KEENE CA 93531 MEDICAL INSURANCE 201167 1 50264 891351 30000 941615 CONTRACT REVENUE 1523869 1523869 PROGRAM SERVICE FEES 210400 210400 1734269 22570 22570 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous 51370 51370 51370 2749824 1808209 X 0 0 0 0 56792 28396 28396 0 1056426 1002953 25596 27877 5902 5646 51 205 201176 190582 4531 6063 97466 89667 3102 4697 0 8886 8886 75567 75567 0 0 0 903776 883081 14026 6669 0 55989 50996 4219 774 0 0 145346 125028 16691 3627 72105 64006 5273 2826 0 14768 13007 1325 436 0 0 2423 2121 302 13242 4257 8819 166 FEES 68375 41417 20027 6931 Public Relations 36802 16315 487 20000 TELEPHONE AND COMMUNICATIONS 18038 16500 1323 215 Scholarships 12000 12000 41309 36303 3625 1381 2886388 2553879 222246 110263 1632715 1032323 0 37437 51504 89265 594430 0 0 0 0 24216 32239 20217 16596 6044 3621 112880 116552 0 0 0 117419 214733 2019976 2045402 185047 347037 185047 347037 X 87024 915374 1747905 782991 1834929 1698365 2019976 2045402 -136564 X false true X true false X 1025686 1257315 1401374 2799972 1038559 7522906 0 0 1025686 1257315 1401374 2799972 1038559 7522906 0 7522906 4209 10407 10950 3338 11852 40756 0 22427 -2106 120382 -1816 51370 190257 7753919 0.97020 0.96190 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 4597 3114 7711 7711 1542 386 4211 6169 false 233772 919 492 1542 236725 355088 52077 4593 2461 7711 66842 58443 230 123 386 59182 88773 40237 2194 328 4597 47356 20217 16596 3621 3621 DEPOSITS AND ADVANCES 9645 INSURANCE RECEIVABLE 85598 214733 X AIRLINE TICKETS 1 30000 FAIR VALUE false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: WORKERS' RIGHTSThe workers rights program focused on the 1) development of a network of 22 organizations across the United States willing to participate in the on-going monitoring and reporting of forced labor situations; 2) the documentation and training of key staff around best practices for engaging forced labor situations; 3) the development of a social media site and radio spots publicizing the Reportalo number where farm workers can report forced labor situations; and 4) the mobilization of a network of Mexican allies to monitor for cases of forced labor from workers communities of origin.
