Overview

Mission

FunkyTown Food Project uses sustainable farming to build our next generation of youth leaders. Our values are rooted in a shared sense of community to empower youth and adults to grow healthy food people and environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Developing youth in our community is the mission of our organization. We hired 16 youth aged 14 to 19 years old for our 2024 summer program. The youth did meaningful work -- including learning how to grow produce organically understanding the dignity of all work and developing better communication and job skills. The youth also assisted in distributing food to the community at local farmers markets and at a number of community food banks which allowed them to interact with hundreds of people in our community.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
