What Annies Project-Education for Farm Women does
Mission
The mission of Annie's Project-Education for Farm Women (APEFW) is to empower women in agriculture to be successful through education, networks, and resources. APEFW conducts training for facilitators who, in turn, deliver Annie's Project classes using the Annie's Project Methodology which means small groups; safe, dynamic, and interactive class environment, vetted presenters, and unbiased research-based information. A local steering committee formed by the trained facilitator adapts the program to the area of delivery by selecting relevant and specific topics. Core values of the program are safe harbor, shared experiences, discovery, and connection. The result is a confident farm woman with improved business decision-making skills, and a network of peers and professionals to support our participants and their communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
A partnership with USDA Risk Management Agency was discontinued February 2024 which included 2025 activities. We ceased work on this part of our program.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Facilitator Training and Program Delivery: six training programs in 2025 added approximately 100 facilitators from 22 States, who in turn conducted 42 Annie's Project Programs in 20 states reaching 933 participants. Average size class was 22 participants. APEFW moved to online delivery for training and program delivery. Program delivery to participants was a combination of in person and online delivery. Online delivery includes podcast, and webinars. Other programs for 2025: Rural Resiliency Project and Cultivating Resiliency Program in collaboration with various organizations and Ag Stress Management Webinars, Suicide Prevention Training in cooperation with Farm Veteran Coalition. Annie's Project participated in Nebraska Women in Ag bookclub, and other programs where Annie's Project CEOs were invited to present and share the Annie's Project Program with their audiences. Webinars on a variety of subjects were recorded and are available through Annie's Project YouTube Channel. Annie's Project YouTube Channel contains all of Annie's Projects on-line national programs and are available to the public. Total education contacts in 2025 were 3465. All numbers combined represent 4,398…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $170k to $258k (+52%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 0% · 2020 3% · 2021 5% · 2022 4% · 2023 10% · 2024 39% · 2025 67%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
67% of ANNIES PROJECT-EDUCATION FOR FARM WOMEN’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ANNIES PROJECT-EDUCATION FOR FARM WOMEN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
