Activities or mission (Part I)

CAUSA WORKS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF LATINO IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH ADVOCACY, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND COALITION BUILDING. LATINO IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE THE HEART OF CAUSA AND INSPIRE, IMPLEMENT AND CHAMPION OUR WORK.

  • IN OREGON, WE SAW THE IMMEDIATE IMPACT OF COVID-19 FOR OUR BIPOC AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES AND TOOK SWIFT ACTION TO ADVOCATE FOR STATE FUNDING TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL RELIEF TO OREGONIANS WHO WERE INTENTIONALLY EXCLUDED FROM PUBLIC BENEFITS. WE DID THIS, BY CO-CREATING THE NOW WELL-ESTABLISHED OREGON WORKER RELIEF COALITION AND DEVELOPING THE WORKER RELIEF FUND AND THE QUARANTINE FUND TO PROVIDE DISASTER RELIEF FUNDS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY COVID-19. AS OF NOW, THE FUND HAS RAISED OVER $110 MILLION DOLLARS AND HAS HAD OVER 35,000 APPLICANTS AND DISTRIBUTED OVER $40 MILLION DOLLARS. IN ORDER TO DISTRIBUTE THESE FUNDS, WE HAVE BUILT A STATEWIDE COMMUNITY LED INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENSURE ACCESS TO THE FUND FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE AND MOST AFFECTED COMMUNITIES. THIS PROGRAM HAS DRASTICALLY INCREASED OUR ORGANIZATIONAL MAKEUP AND HAS STRENGTHENED OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH COALITION MEMBERS ACROSS THE STATE IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE ONE CENTRALIZED TRUSTED COMMUNITY PROGRAM. CAUSA'S ROLE WAS TO LEAD THE ADVOCACY EFFORT TO GET THIS PROJECT OFF THE GROUND AND WE WERE THE INTIAL FISCAL SPONSORS OF THE FUND. NOW, CAUSA IS ONE OF THE NAVIGATING ORGANIZATIONS, OVERSEES THE DISTRIBUTION OF DOLLARS FOR THE WORKER RELIEF FUND AND IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
