About La Cooperativa Campesina de California
La Cooperativa Campesina de California’s grantmaking is shaped by two repeated lines of work: weatherization support and farmworker assistance. The largest recent award in the record is $8,064,518 to MAROMA Energy Services in Upland for provider weatherization assistance, and the same grantee appears again with another large weatherization award in 2024. That pattern sits alongside substantial support for farmworker-serving organizations, including Proteus Inc in Visalia, California Human Development in Santa Rosa, and Center for Employment Trainin in San Jose. The foundation’s grant history shows a statewide network of service providers rather than isolated one-off awards, with repeated funding to organizations that deliver direct services in rural and agricultural communities. Its stated summary points to bilingual programs for farmworkers and rural communities, with job training, housing, energy services, youth education, and supportive services designed to improve economic opportunity and quality of life. The recent grants table reflects that service-delivery model: funds flow to local providers that implement weatherization assistance or farmworker programs, often at substantial scale. Across the grant record, the foundation appears to prioritize implementation capacity and targeted assistance for people working and living in California’s agricultural regions.
