01What it does

What Michigan Organic Food and Farm Alliance Inc does

Mission

Promoting the development of food systems that rely on organic methods of food production and that revitalize and sustain local communities.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. Education and Outreach: Since 2015 MOFFA has conducted its annual in-depth education event, the Organic Intensives. In the year 2025 the topics for this event were "Farming In a Changing Climate", "Korean Natural Farming: Cultivating Indigenous Soil Life", and "Innovative Marketing: Farmer Wisdom on Where and How to Sell Your Farm Goods". We also sell books at this event as well as at Farm Tours we host throughout the summer and fall. In 2025 we hosted three Farm Tours around the state. We continue to partner with other organizations that are working to create a just and healthy planet and populace. We produce a quarterly newsletter which reaches over 2,000 individuals who have expressed interest in receiving it, and we maintain a website which provides information about organic and sustainable farming and educational, employment, and funding opportunities in the organic sector.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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.

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 MICHIGAN ORGANIC FOOD AND FARM ALLIANCE INC’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 MICHIGAN ORGANIC FOOD AND FARM ALLIANCE INC'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. $303 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.
