The Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) is the oldest and largest national, institution-based, community organizing network in the United States.

The IAF works with 62 institution-based community organizations across the United States, as well as in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany.

These organizations have produced impressive results in training thousands of African-American, white, Latino and Asian, poor, working and middle class leaders to take action on community, city and state issues.

What do IAF organizations do?

IAF organizations are:

Power Organizations committed to expanding the ability of individuals, families and organizations to act on issues of concern.
Action Organizations committed to researching local and broader issues, acting directly on those issues with decision-makers in the public and private sectors, and evaluating those actions.
Training Organizations where leaders and potential leaders can learn about the skills and concepts necessary to operate effectively in the public arena.

What have IAF organizations accomplished?

Living Wage.

Conceived, designed, and passed the first living wage law in the country in Baltimore in 1994. The second bill was the work of the IAF affiliates in New York City in 1996. Since then, IAF affiliates in Texas, Arizona, and elsewhere have passed living wage legislation.
