Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Improve the lives of California's farmworkers, their families, and rural communities through advocacy and service.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Provides supportive services promoting the well-being of migrant seasonal farmworkers, their families, and communities.

  • Low-Income Weatherization Program - The Organization provides energy efficiency measures and solar photovoltaics (PV) to eligible farmworker families at no cost. The program is designed with the primary objective of reducing greenhouse gasemissions by saving energy and generating clean renewable energy for low-income farmworker households.

    Expenses $11,666,292

  • Employment & Training Programs - Due to its seasonal nature and the variability of crop output, the agricultural worker occupation often suffers from high rates of unemployment and underemployment. The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NJFP) serves agricultural workers and their families by helping them to gain higher-wage jobs in more stable careers. As the recipients of NJFP funds in California, La Cooperativas five member agencies fulfill this mandate through comprehensive education, training, and placement programs. Most programs are free to qualifying individuals.

    Expenses $5,205,000

  • USDA Stipends paid to farmworkers impacted by the Covid pandemic.

    Expenses $27,693

As filed on the 2025 return.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
