Financials

Where the money comes from, and where it goes.

In 2025 we completed our second organizational audit. Every number on this page comes from those audited statements, posted below in full alongside our IRS filings.

Where it goes

96%

of our spending goes to programs, keeping responsibility and agency with program directors in their school communities. The other 4% covers management and fundraising.

Program services $3,044,460 · management and general $86,871 · fundraising $36,407 · total $3,167,738.

A resilient funding mix

Government grants fell $319,000 between our last two audited years. Earned revenue from schools, districts, and produce sales rose by almost exactly as much, and now covers 48% of our funding, up from 37%.

Our auditor began reporting cost of produce, professional fees, and travel as separate lines in FY 2024-25. Those costs sat inside other categories the year before, so there is no comparable figure to show against them.
