What Farm Labor Research Project does
Mission

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Migrant worker empowerment - through the use of popular education methods, home meetings and camp educational sessions, migrant workers receive and share information and training on basic rights, health and safety, conflict resolution, pesticides, organizing skills, immigration, and other topics of concern to the workers. A deeper level of training/leadership development targets camp representatives and committee leaders elected by their peers. Worker leaders learn communication and conflict resolution skills, how to organize larger training sessions, setting agendas, etc...

Our organizer santiago rafael cruz was killed in april 2007 while implementing this work in mexico.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $442k to $754k (+71%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 1% · 2021 37% · 2024 45%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of FARM LABOR RESEARCH PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $45k → $193k.
6 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 46% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of FARM LABOR RESEARCH PROJECT’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
FARM LABOR RESEARCH PROJECT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
52% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FARM LABOR RESEARCH PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 44% · 2018 57% · 2020 54% · 2021 52% · 2022 54% · 2023 36% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
50% of FARM LABOR RESEARCH PROJECT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
FARM LABOR RESEARCH PROJECT draws 98% of its grant income from funders outside Ohio, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $371k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
FARM LABOR RESEARCH PROJECT's funding base is broadening — from 3 funders to 5 as grant income climbed.
