My stomach turned as I compiled this list, typing permutations of "Service Workers Association" and "grant" into the search engine.
The listed grants below account for $287,500 of big-ticket grants from private foundations to NATLFED entities since 2001.
While those people who have run into a NATLFED-affiliate know that they are vocal about accepting no money from the government and accepting only private donations "with no strings attached," it is less well-known that entities compete for grants from private foundations.
The foundation grant offices are probably impressed by the all-volunteer nature of the fronts, and by the seeming beneficence of the benefit programs. They probably don't know that the various "Workers Associations" are part of a nationwide network to recruit and indoctrinate "professional revolutionaries." They probably don't know what fraction of their money is spent locally and what fraction is sent to headquarters. They probably don't know if their grants will actually expand the service programs they were intended to support. And, unless they're on the inside, the grant officers have never seen a balance sheet for the organizations they are supporting, and they probably never will.
Type "Eastern Farm Workers Association grant" into your favorite search engine and find out who some of the big-ticket private supporters of the NATLFED organizations are.

Great research from a concerned citizen
Received the following in my Inbox. Great research from a resourceful NATLFED-watcher.

Thank you for taking the time to set up this blog. Last May, Peter Engels, from the Coalition of Concerned Medical Professionals approached me on campus, told me that his organization was trying to get the state to provide medical insurance for low and middle income people in the state of California and asked me to donate and signed up. Little did I know that the organization would harass with calls. I finally got a call at around 8 or 9pm, which made me extremely suspicious. So I looked up the organization and your page came up. That's when I found out I had almost joined a cult. In my search, I also found out that UC Davis' Career Center had that organization in their database. I emailed them with my experience and a couple of days ago, they emailed me back saying they were going to remove them from the database. I posted my full interaction with them on my blog if you want to read it:

Anyways, just wanted to say thanks for your efforts.
