| IRS990/Desc | 0 | MEMBER SERVICESThe UFW Foundation 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 2015, the organizations Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) accredited staff assisted approximately 1,700 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. Furthermore, clients saved over $135,000 in USCIS application fees in 2015 through its assistance with fee waiver applications.Additionally, 8,860 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.Notably, the UFW Foundations outreach in the community reached approximately 30,000 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, the Affordable Care Act, and available immigration relief; and the rights of immigrants (regardless of immigration status). In total, 786 informational sessions and outreach activities were held in California and Arizona. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | CIVIC PARTICIPATIONAlong with the United Farm Workers union, the UFW Foundation settled a lawsuit with the state of California resulting in stronger heat regulations that protect farm workers and other outdoor workers from heat illness. Consequently, the UFW Foundation has an MOU with CalOSHA, that allows the organization to file complaints on behalf of worker 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. Violations were reported to CalOsha that impacted an estimated 50,000 farm workers.Additionally, 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. These events included rallies in front of the Mesa Verde Detention Center in Bakersfield and at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. The organizations actions and social media campaigns were aimed to draw attention in unique ways to farm workers lives and the need for immigration reform. Moreover, 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. |

The organization co-chairs the communications committee of the Coalition for Immigration Reform Implementation (CIRI) that is being led by the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), and is working to develop a national communications strategy that reaches legalization-eligible immigrants with information regarding the law while making sure that it warns against the consequences of receiving assistance from fraudulent providers. The UFW Foundation also is an active participant in a coalition, named Ready California, which is working to make sure that California is prepared for immigration legalization implementation. Through this collaboration, the UFW Foundation leads the administrative relief implementation planning efforts in the South Coast, Central Coast and North Coast California regions and participates in the Southern San Joaquin Valley efforts. |
