Provide bilingual programs and services to farmworkers and rural communities—including job training, housing, energy services, youth education, and supportive services—to improve economic opportunity and quality of life.
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.
Weatherization is one of the clearest program areas in the recent grant record. La Cooperativa Campesina de California gave $8,064,518 to MAROMA Energy Services in Upland for provider weatherization assistance, and later awarded the same organization $4,527,590 for the same purpose. A smaller 2023 grant of $307,503 to MAROMA Energy Services also carried the weatherization assistance purpose. Farmworker assistance is the other major theme. The foundation awarded $2,706,081 to Center for Employment Trainin in San Jose to provide farmworker assistance, and later gave $1,630,747 to Proteus Inc in Visalia for the same broad purpose. Other recurring farmworker-serving grants went to California Human Development in Santa Rosa and Central Valley Opportunity Ce in Winton, showing a sustained emphasis on direct service delivery through local agencies.
The typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $642,105, the median is $1,111,134, and the 75th percentile is $1,497,735. The recent record also shows repeated funding to the same recipients across multiple years, especially MAROMA Energy Services, Center for Employment Trainin, Proteus Inc, California Human Development, Central Valley Opportunity Ce, and Employers Training Resource. That pattern points to ongoing support for established service providers rather than a wide set of one-time awards. The foundation is not a fund for individuals and does not make program-related investments.
