Overview
Mission
The mission of the iorc is to bring people together to build grassroots power through community organizing, leadership development and civic engagement, and take action to promote and protect health, safety, dignity & justice for frontline communities, including farm workers.
What it reported doing in 2024
Ag & food: iorc is dedicated to growing community power amongst latinx farmworkers in the state. This includes providing leadership development programs for community members and developing strategic campaigns to push for policies that benefit those in the community. Goal 1: protect farmworker health. Monitor and strengthen aerial pesticide application rules in Idaho. In 2020, two dozen farmworkers were poisoned from one incorrect pesticide application by an airplane applicator. Since then, iorc has worked with those injured and the larger latinx farmworker community to protect and expand on existing regulations in the state pertaining to aerial applications of pesticides. Iorc will continue over the two years to push for stronger regulations. Goal 2: build strong farmworker-led organizing. Iorc will continue to build out its organizing work with latinx farmworkers by recruiting, training, and engaging community members on issues that impact them the most.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
