What Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership does
Mission
The Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership (ISAP) brings together diverse member organizations who work collaboratively to encourage the adoption of sustainable and profitable production practices that improve soil health and restore local waters. One of the Partnership's primary efforts is to support Illinois agriculture in meeting the goals of the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy (NLRS) by utilizing data and consistent messaging to increase the technical capacity of ag professionals while minimizing risk and increasing profits for farmers.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In-field and Soil Health Management. ISAP's programs include its flagship Soil Health Leadership Program that provides hands-on training to farmers, farm advisors, and conservation professionals looking to sharpen their skills and further Illinois' stewardship practices. The program includes a combination of classroom and field-based instruction on a variety of soil health concepts, including soil biology and chemistry, cover crop selection and management, nutrient management, economics, integrated pest management, diversity, livestock integration, and effective communication strategies. Participants commit to a series of 6 training sessions over 18 months, and are expected to share what they learn with farmers and agricultural professionals in their network. Other initiatives under this program include the creation of informational resources (e.g. the Soil Health Guidebook) and sharing information / presentations at events throughout the state.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ILLINOIS SUSTAINABLE AG PARTNERSHIP’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
Where its funders are
100% of ILLINOIS SUSTAINABLE AG PARTNERSHIP's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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.
