What Myagro Farms does
Mission
Myagro's mission is to move smallholder farmers in west africa out of poverty. Through our mobile layaway platform, farmers gain access to high-quality inputs and climate-smart agriculture training which we deliver at the village level, as well as ongoing mobile support. On average, this model is proven to increase farmer yields by 130% and income by $156 relative to control farmers.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Mobile technology development: myagro's digital layaway platform provides farmers with a secure and reliable savings mechanism which they can use to purchase high-quality agricultural inputs and training that are delivered within 10 km of their village. Package options are designed each year for a diverse variety of plot sizes and product types including grain and vegetable seeds and fertilizer, poultry, and trees. After farmers select their desired package, they make small payments over time into their digital myagro account. The payment process mimics that of adding phone credits: farmers can purchase scratch cards from their ve and text in a code or pay directly via mobile money - enabling them to save via their own device, through their ve, or via the myagro call center. For women especially, this digital account enables them to save privately and securely, which protects their assets and enhances financial autonomy. There were more than 4,000 entrepreneurs leveraging myagro's mobile technology to enroll and facilitate payments for farmers during calendar year 2024.
$20,179,728 spentof which $15,188,720 as grants78% of program spendingResearch, development, & evaluation: myagro focuses on data-driven self-reflection and organizational improvement to better understand the challenges faced by rural communities and to deliver value to farmers. In addition to core product delivery and training services offered each agricultural season, myagro innovates with farmers to develop new solutions that address barriers to agricultural success such as climate shock and gender inequity. We also conduct harvest evaluations to better understand program impact, focusing on two key indicators, (1) percent increase in yield and (2) additional net income earned among myagro farmers relative to control farmers. Since 2018, the program has resulted in an average 130% yield increase and $156 additional income earned per farmer. For households living on less than $2 per day, these results have transformative effects: improving family food security, covering school and medical fees, and enabling farmers to reinvest to further diversify and increase their income. There were approximately 44,000 research and development participants during the calendar year 2024.
$4,162,458 spentof which $3,132,966 as grants16% of program spendingFarmer product & service delivery: myagro has built a scalable and replicable model that served low-income, rural customers at the last mile. Myagro recruits and trains women entrepreneurs from within villages, who then market and sell climate-smart agricultural packages to local farmers using our custom mobile application. Farmers are then able to make small layaway payments over time to purchase packages of seeds and fertilizer, tree seedlings, and poultry which are delivered within 10 km. By combining offline customer service with mobile technology, myagro overcomes two key barriers to building sustainable financial tools for farmers: customer trust and client density. Myagro operates in mali, senegal, and cte d'ivoire, where the majority of the population works in agriculture. Only 20% of households in africa have formal bank accounts (world bank), and 87% of farmers surveyed in 2023 had no prior access to a similar service like myagro's. Our target audience is smallholder farmers living on less than $2 per day, and 70% of our customers are women. Myagro served approximately 360,000 farmers during the calendar year 2024.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $139M to $37M (−74%).
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: 2017 3% · 2018 1% · 2019 3% · 2020 28% · 2021 4% · 2022 21% · 2023 48% · 2024 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $1.1M → $6.4M.
17 of 39 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 46% 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 MYAGRO FARMS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 39 funders by total. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
MYAGRO FARMS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
50% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MYAGRO FARMS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 56% · 2018 60% · 2019 32% · 2020 51% · 2021 28% · 2022 33% · 2023 47% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
44% of MYAGRO FARMS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 72% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
MYAGRO FARMS draws 91% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 10 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $19M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 states 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.
