Mission

Franklin Farm Hub is dedicated to facilitating the creation of sustainable food ecosystems in Western North Carolina, striving to improve food access, promote sustainable agriculture, and uplift the local agricultural community through education, incubation, and collaboration. Franklin Farm Hub achieves its mission by partnering with local food banks to distribute food to underserved communities, offering educational programs for local farmers and the general public on sustainable farming and nutrition, promoting conservation and land stewardship, providing critical resources to underprivileged farmers, and raising awareness on the best practices for sustainable agricultural land management and wholesome, organic produce.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
