Overview

Mission

Our purpose is to promote viable agriculture and ranching for the local community through a reduction of idle farmlands; improving the irrigation system; creating better sustainable crop production; and providing education opportunities on land and water conservation methods.

What it reported doing in 2025

Irrigation: TW-DWU pays for the Water Permit fees for each of the three major farm plots to have access to water for irrigation of their crops. Each year TW-DWU cleans out the inlet boxes due to debris and sediment build up that clog the inlets to the irrigation diversion dams. TW-DWU then facilitates a water schedule between the farmers to have equal access to the irrigation water. We provide irrigation pipes and irrigation bonnets/vales to farmers who request them as well as help with set-up, dismantling, education of proper care and usage of all irrigation equipment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
