The UFWF is uniquely positioned to reach this under-served population because it is a culturally competent entity that is known and trusted by Latino immigrants in the areas it serves. Among the services the organization provides are much needed immigration legal services. The organization educates immigrants about their rights and responsibilities, and helps them access the immigration benefits that may be available to them and/or their family members. In 2011, the UFW Foundation provided over 600 immigration legal consultations at a nominal cost for farm workers and other low-income immigrants. In addition, the organization informed 237 community members with valuable guidance on citizenship eligibility requirements at events held in Arvin, Bakersfield, Shafter, Delano, and Fresno, CA. The organization also provided 309 low-income individuals with tax preparation assistance which helped many families attain the Earned Income Tax Credit. Additionally, 4,137 community members were provided assistance with determining eligibility for safety net programs such as CalFresh, Medi-Cal, Healthy Families and CalWORKs. Other services offered to the community included application assistance for unemployment and social security, document translation and referrals to social and health services. In addition, the organization conducted presentations and outreach at 107 community events to inform over 13,700 constituents about health-related issues, such as public benefits eligibility and occupational safety, particularly with respect to rest breaks, access to water and shade. The organization also provided outreach on domestic violence education and prevention and the legal remedies available to victims regardless of immigration status. These events included 30 presentations that the UFW Foundation conducted for 895 attendees throughout Monterey and Kern County at various Migrant Education Centers, schools, and other community based organizations. 210225 POLICY & RESEARCHIn 2011, the UFW Foundation led a project involving a Consortium of ten non-profit organizations from throughout the nation to plan the infrastructure for the implementation of future farm worker immigration reform. A key part of the planning process involved developing a California Preparedness Plan that allowed the Consortium to pilot some of its recommendations to prepare to go to full implementation and greater scale. The Consortium made recommendations of replicable models and systems that can be developed and expanded to reach the largest number of farm workers as quickly as possible, once legislation is enacted. These models for farm workers can then be adapted, replicated and generally useful for the broader immigrant community impacted by other immigration reform proposals that Congress will consider in the future. 108161 CIVIC PARTICIPATIONThroughout 2011, a communications plan was implemented that encouraged non-English speaking farm workers and other low-income immigrants to apply for citizenship. This included the development of Public Service Announcements (PSA), which were broadcasted on Radio Campesina, to encourage participation. Similarly, the organization co-hosted the morning "Despierta Ya Campesino" (or Wake Up Farm Worker) Radio Campesina Program once a week to discuss relevant issues impacting the Latino community, such as federal immigration policies, citizenship application requirements, and the importance of voting. 746408 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 false true false true 6 0 false 12 true false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 3 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true false true false false false false X Linda Rockstad 6618236111 29700 Woodford Tehachapi Rd Keene CA 93531 Gina Montoya 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ramon Ramirez 1.00 X 0 0 0 Guadalupe Martinez 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tanis Ybarra 1.00 X 0 55040 0 Arturo S Rodriguez 1.00 X 0 76448 0 Diana Tellefson Torres 40.00 X 52000 0 0 52000 131488 0 false false false 0 15670 11002 106065 437073 569810 Tax preparation, imm. svc 541200 82085 82085 82085 2952 2952 0 0 0 0 7225 11002 8651 -1426 -1426 0 0 Miscellaneous 18053 18053 18053 671474 100138 1526 0 0 0 0 52000 35422 8472 8106 0 286341 286341 6411 6271 74 66 51020 49055 1040 925 31533 29958 916 659 0 0 34270 33041 676 553 0 0 0 7000 6829 26 145 25 25 16552 16282 270 3368 3258 53 57 0 38210 35885 1153 1172 29897 26457 1127 2313 0 7360 6306 719 335 0 0 1421 1174 247 5242 5132 79 31 Vacation Earned 13171 12398 458 315 TELEPHONE 16217 15476 147 594 Scholarships 17500 17500 OUTSIDE SERVICES 145295 117872 9305 18118 HR Services 19907 19223 377 307 41999 22528 5551 13920 824739 746408 30690 47641 169574 94934 0 104483 14566 2880 1709 0 0 0 0 0 8105 5196 1496 2909 139271 127341 0 0 0 525 1511 418229 242970 74528 52535 74528 52535 X 129352 -34112 214349 224547 343701 190435 418229 242970 X -153265 -1 X false true false false false X 1047337 246762 322083 686164 530945 2833291 0 0 1047337 246762 322083 686164 530945 2833291 0 2833291 15442 6714 19983 3398 4539 50076 0 35183 -11368 216935 100348 26042 367140 3250507 0.87160 0.85300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 3498 17488 20986 812405 833391 150009 37502 false 108082 113442 140271 150009 511804 767706 54850 54850 45123 20986 175809 27021 28361 35068 37502 127952 191928 15323 13524 20052 3498 52397 8105 5196 2909 2909 Part XI, Line 8 Part XI, Line 8: Other Changes in Net Assets or Fund Balances Rounding $ -1 X X X X X X false Arizona Latino Arts and Cultural Center 18227 11002 7225 8651 18227 11002 7225 8651 8651 -1426 Part I, Line 2b - Fundraiser Additional Information The UFW Foundation held its first fundraising event at the Arizona Latino Arts and Cultural Center in Downtown Phoenix on November 1, 2011.
