Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc.

What Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc. does

Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc. is a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1981 to stabilize the U.S. farm workforce by addressing discrimination against farmworkers in labor laws, promoting higher wages and safer working conditions, supporting immigration policy reform, and expanding healthcare access. The organization serves an estimated 2.4 million migratory and seasonal agricultural workers (MSAWs) and their families, a population that is approximately 70% foreign-born and faces elevated risks including heat-related mortality 35 times the rate of other U.S. workers. Its work is organized across three pillars: policy advocacy (labor, occupational safety, immigration, environmental health, healthcare access at federal and state levels), programmatic initiatives (Healthcare Access, Worker Safety, Environmental Health, and Economic Stability), and litigation against agricultural employers and federal agencies to establish legal precedent.

The operational model combines direct service delivery (training, technical assistance, disaster relief) with coalition building, employing 11-50 staff and partnering with a network of HRSA-funded health centers under Section 330(g) of the Public Health Service Act. Key operational assets include the Farmworker Health Network consortium (five partner organizations), an OSHA Susan Harwood grant-funded heat safety toolkit in three languages, the multi-language Sembrando Respeto/Cosechando Dignidad training program for farmworker women, and the ReUnidos skin cancer navigation program operating in California and upstate New York. The organization has no technology platform; its deliverable is institutional advocacy, training content, and case precedent.

The business model is nonprofit and entirely grant- and donation-funded. Revenue derives from federal grants (notably an HRSA NTTAP award of $550,000 for the Healthcare Access Program and an OSHA Susan Harwood training grant), institutional funders, and individual donations solicited at tiers from $25 to $5,000 plus recurring monthly gifts. The tax identification number is EIN 52-1196708. Marketing and outreach are conducted through the organization website, email newsletter, and a broad social media presence (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, YouTube) supplemented by grassroots distribution through community-based partner organizations.

Core offering

Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that advocates, litigates, and runs programs to improve labor conditions, healthcare access, and environmental protections for U.S. farmworkers. The organization delivers its work through three primary channels: policy advocacy at federal, state, and local levels; programmatic training and technical assistance spanning healthcare access, worker safety, environmental health, and economic stability; and litigation against systemic labor abuses. It also operates a disaster relief fund and a multilingual resource center. The organization is funded entirely through grants and donations.

Product overview

Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc. is a nonprofit advocacy organization offering a unified portfolio of programs and services rather than a technology platform.

These programs deliver services through direct training (heat safety, digital literacy), resource development, technical assistance, and community partnerships. The Disaster Relief Fund provides emergency support. The organization also conducts policy advocacy at federal and state levels on labor protection, immigration, occupational safety, and healthcare access, as well as litigation services addressing systemic labor abuses. The Resource Center houses educational materials, and the Farmworker Health Network represents a collaborative initiative with five partner organizations.
