Overview

Mission

In collaboration with the community, Grace Grows builds and leverages food systems and land-based initiatives to empower, increase capacity, and improve justice for people experiencing social inequities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Food Hub Design and Feasibility Study- community engagement (interviews, publication and data research, focus groups, and surveys) with stakeholders like food banks and pantries, farmers, food-insecure people, community gardens, and nonprofits to begin design of a regional food hub to improve food security. The stakeholder engagement target was 300 people, but during this period, it began with around 50.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
