Overview
Mission
The purpose of the Pennsylvania beef foundation 501(c)(3) nonprofit initiative is exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.
What it reported doing in 2024
Beefing up backpacks program - helping feed hungry kids in Pennsylvania - beefing up backpacks is on a mission to provide high-quality protein to children in need by adding a nutritious 1-ounce beef stick to every backpack distributed through Pennsylvania's weekend food programs. These programs, operated entirely on donations and grants, offer essential meals to children facing food insecurity on weekends. Currently, less than 2% of the food in these backpacks is animal proteina critical nutrient for growth and development. Beefing up for backpacks aims to bridge this gap by delivering shelf-stable, protein-rich beef sticks to kids across Pennsylvania.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. 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.
