What Missouri Organic Association does
Mission
Missouri Organic Association was founded in 1993 by the organic farming community of missouri. Through educational opportunities and outreach, we work to advise and support organic growers, producers, and to help create a more ecologically sound food environment for all.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Moa, working in conjunction with the usda, is committed to supporting a diverse range of farmers, ranchers, and private forest landowners through partnerships for climate-smart commodities. This project has worked to expand markets for america's climate-smart commodities, leverage the greenhouse gas benefits of climate-smart commodity production, and provide direct, meaningful benefits to production agriculture, including for small and underserved producers. Moa's focus has been on expanding the use of nrcs practice code 336, specifically the application of biochar to missouri's working lands.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $64k to $642k (+904%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 32% · 2021 26% · 2022 41% · 2023 91% · 2024 98%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of MISSOURI ORGANIC ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
