Overview

Mission

From seed to supper, food moxie educates and inspires people to grow, prepare, and eat healthy food.

What it reported doing in 2024

The hope farm - the organization established the hope farm at martin luther king high school in 2014 to teach life skills related to urban farming, culinary arts and nutrition to students with intellectual disabilities and autism. This horticultural therapy program provides experimental learning that connects classroom lessons with real-life application. The farm also provides gardening, farming and culinary arts education to students in the school's culinary arts program and to other members of the school 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
