Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

National Farmworker Jobs Program

The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) is funded through the United States Department of Labor and is available across the United States. Proteus implements this program in Iowa, Indiana, and Nebraska.

Proteus is the recipient of the National Farmworker Jobs Program grant through the Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Funding provided through this program supports the response to chronic seasonal unemployment and underemployment experienced by agricultural workers, by offering educational assistance, short-term certification programs, job training, and/or career placements. The program helps farmworkers cover costs related to career and training programs such as; tuition, books, tools/equipment, or provides a stipend for class attendance.

Agricultural Health Program

The Agricultural Health Program is funded through the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Primary Healthcare. This program provides agricultural workers and anyone in their household with access to affordable health care.

Farmworkers perform difficult labor and are in the fields from early morning until late evening, sometimes seven days a week. Such a schedule does not facilitate access to health care services. There are also language barriers and transportation issues.

Health care clinics are scheduled in locations where farmworkers are working and living, during the hours when workers are available for services. In these locations, workers receive vital exams such as blood pressure, temperature, height and weight, and blood profiling to check for anemia, cholesterol, and diabetes. All patients are able to have a complete physical exam.

Health & Safety Training

The Health & Safety Training Program is funded primarily by the Association of Farmworker Opportunities Program (AFOP). This program provides farmworkers with life-saving information about pesticide exposure, heatstroke/heat stress prevention, and COVID-19 prevention and mitigation strategies.

AFOP’s train the trainer model sets up Proteus and other member organizations for success through accommodating training and bilingual material.

Our nationally trained employees at Proteus provide heat stress and pesticide safety training at the time and location for employers. Our training is taught with visual aids and interactive training techniques for a low-literacy approach to learning.

After each training, there are typically essential items provided to the farmworkers in attendance. Items such as toiletries, laundry bags to separate work clothes, long-sleeve shirts, as well as resource material from Proteus and partner organizations.

Food Security Program

The Food Security Program provides families in central Iowa with access to nutritious meals. Individuals can access our food pantry at the Des Moines, IA office.

Proteus is a recipient of food rescue from the Eat Greater Des Moines (EGDM), a central Iowa-based non-profit organization that facilitates and builds connections to strengthen the area’s food system.

We receive rescued food items on Mondays so that patients can have access to ready-to-eat food when they come in for appointments during standing Tuesday clinics.

We are always interested in receiving food and essential item donations year-round. Due to our limited space to properly store food and make sure it gets to those in need in a timely manner, we ask that any organizations or individuals interested in donating call (515) 271-5306 to coordinate the donation.
While the Des Moines, IA office is currently the only established food pantry, we may be able to take donations at other office locations.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
