Overview
Mission
To promote the welfare of the grain industry in Maryland.
What it reported doing in 2025
To organize an annual educational event for over 300 farmers, and to carryout public relations activities to improve the public's understanding of agriculture and promote the grain industry through representations at meetings. The grant income that is received from the Maryland grain producers utilization board (mgpub) is used for several programs, including scholarships, events and public relations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
