The UFW Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on advocating for farmland workers and aligning policy with their needs. Over 15 years, it has mobilized farm workers and their organizations nationwide to push for reforms in areas such as immigration, pesticide protections, heat standards, hazard pay, and broader worker protections, while also delivering essential services to constituents. The foundation also serves as a significant provider of immigration legal services, described as the largest federally accredited program of its kind in California, with operations across several states and plans to expand further. Based in Los Angeles, California, the organization works within the non-profit sector to pursue systemic change aimed at reducing poverty among agricultural workers. A recent development noted is the organization’s ongoing involvement in legal action related to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate in the H-2A guest worker program, reflecting active engagement in policy and regulatory matters.
