Overview
Mission
Our organization provides job training for individuals with special needs in agricultural and entrepreneurial skills.
What it reported doing in 2024
We piloted a Farm to Preschool Program with our team involving hands-on learning with 100 preschoolers and their families teaching healthy eating and nutrition cooking demos and fresh produce deliveries from our farm. Trainees with disabilities were involved in sharing the program with the community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
