What Butte Agriculture Foundation Inc does
Mission
The butte agriculture foundation was formed to further the educational outreach of the agricultural community in butte county and the surrounding communities. The butte agriculture foundation looks forward to supporting locally organized agriculture groups and efforts to provide the resources and services needed to be successful in the efforts to inform and promote the value of our agrarian community.

The honeybee discovery center teaches the importance of pollinators, especially honeybees, play in the environment. One out of every three bites we eat is thanks to a bee. Sierra ora farm trail - october weekend that allows 30 farms to open their gates and barn doors for 2,000 consumers to tour their facilities and learn first-hand how they produce their agriculture products.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2018 to 2019, from $382k to $736k (+93%).
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.
8% of BUTTE AGRICULTURE FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income rose $4k → $10k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $5k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Butte County Farm Bureau). These are real filings, and they are not money BUTTE AGRICULTURE FOUNDATION INC raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $310 arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states 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.
