Overview
Mission
Empowering traditional cannabis farmers through education, research and advocacy.
What it reported doing in 2017
Education of consumers, farmers and government regulators on the benefits of small-production and outdoor cannabis farming. Reduction of barriers to entry of small farmers seeking entry into the legal California cannabis market, including but not limited to advocating for changes to the CA cannabis microbusiness regulations and advocating for state and local tax incentives that are production-based and tiered to allow the small farmer to complete.
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
- 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
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.
