About CFF
The California Farmworker Foundation (CFF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization proudly serving over 65,000 farmworkers across California. Founded in 2016 by a group of agriculturalists who recognized the urgent, community-wide need for better healthcare, housing, and food security, CFF has spent the past decade working to improve the quality of life for the men and women who feed our nation.
Our Mission
CFF’s mission is simple but powerful: provide farmworkers with the programs and services they need to thrive, while empowering them to become leaders and advocates for themselves and their communities. Every initiative is guided by data, allowing CFF to design programs that respond directly to the real needs of the communities it serves. The foundation’s core work spans three pillars — education, workforce development, and health and wellness — each aimed at building stronger, more self-sufficient farmworking communities.
Today, CFF operates in six counties across California: Fresno, Madera, Tulare, Kern, Santa Barbara, and Riverside. Through daily, direct engagement with farmworkers and their families, CFF creates a tangible, lasting difference in the lives of the people behind California’s agricultural economy.
