What National Young Farmers Coalition Inc does
Mission
The national young farmers coalition (young farmers) works to shift power and change policy to equitably resource our new generation of working farmers. We envision a just future where farming is free of racial violence, accessible to communities, oriented towards environmental well-being, and concerned with health over profit.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Field and national organizing: young farmers organizes a grassroots network of farmers, ranchers, and advocates working for a brighter, more just future for agriculture. National young farmers coalition chapters are the heart of our grassroots network, consisting of 30 farmer-led teams across 25 states working on the ground and in community. Twelve of these chapters are resourced through our chapter fiscal sponsorship program, allowing an administrative structure for chapters to fundraise, self-organize, and address regional challenges. Chapters focus on local, high-impact initiatives while working closely with the coalition to ensure they can sustainably meet their long-term goals. Initiatives like the farmers of color land fund facilitated by our west michigan chapter raised $50,000 in 2024, and the northern illinois farm-ily reunion attended by 100+ producers are important examples of local farmer leadership in action, supported by our chapter fiscal sponsorship program. Additionally, the coalition engages a growing membership base of more 6,000 individuals and hosts more than 50 farmer-centric events across the country. Through our collective storytelling, we create a unified…

In 2024, we successfully advocated for the introduction of marker bills like the farm ownership improvement act and the land access, opportunity, and sustainability (laso) act. These efforts streamline usda loan processes and tackle structural barriers to farmland ownership, providing critical pathways to land equity for young and bipoc farmers. To uplift the stories and needs of frontline farmers, we hosted a farm bill advocacy day and brought 15 farmers to washington d.c. To meet with senate and house agriculture committees. We also hosted a virtual policy briefing with more than 200 registrants. To expand access to capital, young farmers maintains a five-year cooperative agreement with the usda to provide technical assistance to farmers in accessing farm service agency (fsa) programs. Through this relationship, we aim to address long-standing structural inequities and establish more equitable access to the usda…

Cultivemos is a partnership led by national young farmers coalition, university of maine cooperative extension, the migrant clinicians network, northeast farmers of color land trust, farm first, and farm aid. Recognizing the critical importance of farmer mental health, our efforts in 2024 significantly expanded these initiatives. Together with 160+ members across 90 organizations, the network focuses on service providers working with a wide range of farmers, including farmworkers, young farmers, and bipoc farmers, through programming including peer groups, a resource clearinghouse, trainings, and hotline services in english and spanish. Simultaneously, our grassroots organizers led a series of wellness-centered events across the country, engaging over 1,000 attendees and showcasing the benefits of farmer-to-farmer education. One powerful example of this work was…

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. 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 2020 to 2021, from $3.1M to $5.6M (+80%).
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 14% · 2018 16% · 2019 15% · 2020 17% · 2021 36% · 2022 28% · 2023 43% · 2024 41%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

How concentrated its funding is
NATIONAL YOUNG FARMERS COALITION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 13% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
31% 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 NATIONAL YOUNG FARMERS COALITION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 25% · 2019 30% · 2020 13% · 2021 17% · 2022 20% · 2023 18% — 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
51% of NATIONAL YOUNG FARMERS COALITION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 60% 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
NATIONAL YOUNG FARMERS COALITION INC draws 83% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 22 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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.
