What Foundation for Fresh Produce by Ifpa Inc does
Mission
The foundation for fresh produce's vision is to grow a healthier world by changing the trajectory of human health. The produce industry has the potential to provide solutions for many of the world's greatest health and economic challenges - especially those surrounding nutrition and hunger. The foundation will focus on improving the appeal of fruits and vegetables as an integral part of people's diets, supporting the development of infrastructure and supply chain solutions that provide easier access, and establishing strategic alliances that enable children and families to form healthier eating habits.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Ffp was awarded a usda grant (assisting specialty crop exports, sustainability) to foster the development and adoption of economically and environmentally sustainable packaging for fresh and fresh-cut produce, and value-added products that ensures food safety and quality of the product, extends its shelf-life and does not create additional carbon footprint.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Ffp is dedicated to helping consumers live happier, healthier lives by eating more fruits and vegetables every single day. A website resource (fruitsandveggies.org) provides consumers with nutrition, storage and handling information on a variety of fruits and vegetables along with recipes, research and more (links to social media posts, stories, expert advice).

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 2024 to 2025, from $1.6M to $6.3M (+290%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2022 25% · 2023 8% · 2024 12% · 2025 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
