FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REFLECT NO PROVISION FOR UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAXES.

THE ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING AUTHORITIES; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. false FARMER EMERGENCY ASSISTAN 10 29125 SCHEDULE I, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 2 IN RESPONSE TO THE DEVASTATING FLOODS LAST SUMMER, WE LAUNCHED AN EMERGENCY RELIEF CAMPAIGN-TO MOBILIZE SUPPORT FROM INDIVIDUALS, AND LOCAL BUSINESSES. OUR GOAL WAS SIMPLE: RAISE ENOUGH RESOURCES TO GET FARMERS BACK ON THEIR FEET AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND TO TARGET ASSISTANCE WHERE IT WAS NEEDED MOST. OVER TWO DISBURSEMENT ROUNDS, OUR FIELD TEAM VISITED EVERY AFFECTED FARM, ASSESSED EACH HOUSEHOLD'S LEVEL OF DAMAGE, AND CATEGORIZED FARMERS INTO TIERS ("LIGHT," "MODERATE,- AND "SEVERE" IMPACT): + "FIRST INSTALLMENT (JULY 2024): EVERY FARMING FAMILY IN OUR PROGRAM RECEIVED A FLAT GRANT OF 500 TO COVER IMMEDIATE EXPENSES RELATED TO FLOOD DAMAGE. + "SECOND INSTALLMENT (AUGUST 2024): BASED ON OUR TIERED ASSESSMENT, WE ISSUED ADDITIONAL DISBURSEMENTS-LIGHTLY AFFECTED FARMS RECEIVED ADDITIONAL FUNDS. IN 2024, LYDIA B. STOKES PROVIDED PASS THROUGH FUNDS THAT WE DISTRIBUTED AS MICRO GRANTS. FARMERS APPLIED, WE REVIEWED THEIR APPLICATIONS, AND AWARDED GRANTS ACCORDINGLY. WE SENT A THANK YOU LETTER AND PROGRAM UPDATE TO THE FUND LAST SUMMER; HAVING RECEIVED NO RESPONSE, WE CONSIDER THAT FUNDING STREAM CLOSED. A KEY FOCUS THROUGHOUT HAS BEEN MONITORING UTILIZATION OF EVERY DOLLAR. TO BALANCE SPEED WITH ACCOUNTABILITY, WE: 1.STREAMLINED REVIEW: AN EXPEDITED APPLICATION PROCESS ENSURES FUNDS REACH FARMERS WITHOUT UNDUE DELAY. 2.SHARED UNDERSTANDING: ALL FARMERS SIGN AGREEMENTS TO BE IN COMMUNITY AND WORK TO FULFILL OUR MISSION, WE RESPECT THEY HAVE THE INTENTION TO UPHOLD THE VALUES AND WERE 3.TRUST OVER BARRIERS: WE PRIORITIZE RAPID DEPLOYMENT-MINIMIZING PAPERWORK AND HURDLES-WHILE RELYING ON CLEAR EXPECTATIONS RATHER THAN ONEROUS COMPLIANCE CHECKS.
