Overview

Mission

Uncle Jerry's Farms is a community-based organization established to impact underserved communities by educating, training, and providing technical resources to the entire community, including families, youth, elderly, veterans, and special needs individuals, while promoting growth and community sustainability.

What it reported doing in 2025

Again a banner year for Uncle Jerry's Farms. We had continued training for people who learned on our farm and who developed starter gardens of their own to grow vegetables, allowing them to spend less at the grocery stores. They continued to learn ways to better their crops, and they also participated in our community gardening program, where they were able to get produce from the farm free of charge.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
