Overview

Mission

Providing a sustainable supply of high quality beef to local food banks and other entities serving food-insecure families, while uniting the culture of each local community we serve.

What it reported doing in 2025

The 1017 project is a "barrier-free" program that gets protein into the hands of food-insecure people, regardless of whether or not they qualify for assistance.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 73% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
