Over 2,000 people attended classes and programming at our Community Cooking School in 2018. Classes are offered on a fee-for-service basis, with scholarships and sliding scale fees offered for each class. All proceeds from the classes benefit the Cooking Matters Program. 432726 53401 Our largest program, Cooking Matters, offers free cooking and nutrition classes to low-income adults, children, and families. Each series of classes meet once a week for six weeks. Each class is two hours long, and is taught by a volunteer team consisting of a chef, a nutrition instructor, and a class assistant. We seek out volunteers with skills in cooking and nutrition to teach these classes. Cooking Matters classes are held at locations that offer other services to low-income families, such as shelters, schools, clinics, community centers, and subsidized housing sites. These agencies and organizations recruit participants for the classes, and we bring the volunteers, food, curricula, and cooking equipment. At the end of each six-week series, we conduct an evaluation that measures positive behavior changes including increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, and an increased use of nutrition skills and knowledge when making decisions about food. In 2018, we conducted 120 six-week series of classes, taught by approximately 200 volunteers, at 42 different locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, reaching over 3,000 people. 872421 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true true false false false false false false false false false 49 0 true 9 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 7 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X Sarah Nelson 4159942164 3150 18th St Ste 315 San Francisco CA 94110 Anna Ghosh President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Aaron Hardisty VP/President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Patricia Farrar-Rivas Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jessica Meksavan Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Nelson Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 90000 0 7554 Isaac Buwembo Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sam Mogannam Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susanna Poon Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Juri Sanchez Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maggie Spicer Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Calvin Tsay Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 90000 7554 0 false false false 0 16806 242907 107057 403225 79216 769995 Program fees 900099 515843 515843 515843 0 0 0 0 0 7500 242907 11486 -3986 -3986 0 0 Other 900099 9714 9714 9714 1291566 515843 5728 X 97 97 0 0 0 97554 48777 48777 0 321445 301376 2172 17897 0 33883 28315 5568 33670 26088 3758 3824 0 0 5345 5345 0 4650 4650 0 238624 227244 9687 1693 474 474 243921 199665 23875 20381 0 0 57250 56834 416 35694 32552 3142 0 0 0 0 4574 4574 9897 9897 Bad debt 6697 6697 Professional development 1985 250 1735 0 1095760 872421 126117 97222 155299 511830 0 0 103395 24202 0 0 0 0 21525 16391 14104 10537 2287 0 0 0 0 53551 0 322782 559844 992 34075 38090 22562 30900 23554 103065 X 130654 231119 168574 225660 299228 456779 322782 559844 195806 -38255 X false true X true false X 530578 447432 391759 631778 769995 2771542 0 0 530578 447432 391759 631778 769995 2771542 194242 2577300 11 31 23 18 83 0 20776 9999 -24233 9714 16256 2787881 2039870 0.92450 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 16391 14104 2287 2287 Gift certificates 30900 30900 X 1291566 1291566 1291566 1095760 1095760 1095760 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d).
