Overview

Mission

To increase student awareness of the role of agriculture in the state of Utah

What it reported doing in 2019

In Service Training - Agriculture in the Classroom, funded by the Foundation, provides in-service training to current K-12 teachers through the Utah State Office of Education and school districts statewide. AITC conducts several workshops during the summer and offers teachers the opportunity to enroll in online courses for Utah State University credit.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
