Overview
Mission
The mission of the Maple Valley Farmers' Market is to promote access to fresh and wholesome, locally- and regionally-grown produce; to create an economic platform supporting small and independent farmers, food processors and artists; and to create and sustain a dynamic, family-oriented gathering place that brings our community together.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 79% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
