Overview
Mission
Small scale farms; a us based charity, is providing an app to the world's small scale farmers that gives them the technology they need to turn their produce into desperately needed income.
What it reported doing in 2025
Without cash reserves, small farmers can't afford medical expenses or even the most basic school fees. Eventually, they must sell their vibrant bio-diverse farmland to those who destory it for short-term financial gain.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
