What Matanuska Community Farmers Market does
Mission
To promote local food access to all community members, regardless of income, to support local farmers with a direct to consumer sales outlet, and to support consumer to producer relationship and education.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Farmers Market - provide low-cost space for local farmers, particularly beginning and young farmers, and local food producers to sell directly to consumers at a weekly market. The market is community focused and aimed at fostering farmer to consumer relationships, and providing children's activities. The market also allows our farmers to participate in various food access programs, such as the LFPA, SNAP and SNAP match (which we do all of the overhead, paperwork, and processing for), and WIC & Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. We are the only market for many miles where shoppers can use their SNAP benefits or Farmers Market Nutrition Program Coupons. It is difficult to measure exact number of persons benefited - while we count shoppers at each market, different shoppers come each week and utilize different benefits. Population of the surrounding communities that have access to the market is around 17,000.
$47,903 spentof which $49,957 as grantsSNAP Match - using state funds, as a market, we are able to match SNAP recipients dollars spent by up to $40 for each recipient at each market. This program allows us to greatly impact food access and has an extremely positive economic impact on our farmers. The number of persons benefited from this program is also difficult to determine because number of household members per SNAP card run is unknown. Between SNAP customers served and farmers who are now able to accept SNAP and SNAP match dollars, we estimate this program impacted around 200 individuals. However, thousands could access this program.
$4,576 spentof which $4,796 as grantsLocal Foods Purchasing Assistance Program (LFPA) - we are a "pass through" organization that allowed this program to function. Essentially, the market purchased fresh local produce, meat, seafood, and eggs from farmers at the end of market and donated that food to local anti-hunger agencies. This program greatly reduces, or eliminates food waste, feeds our community, and provides security to our farmers. The number of persons benefited from this program is around 3,000, according to anti-hunger agency data and our vendor data.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 $27k to $42k (+55%).
How it's funded, over time
