What Powered Foods does
Mission
The amended mission of the corporation from 2018 through 2020 was to "develop cutting-edge, nutrient-dense, pesticide-free, pure food, in state-of-the-art vertically enclosed greenhouse environments. The goal was to improve health, particularly with nutritional benefits for cancer, cardio, auto-immune, and Alzheimer's patients." This was the vision and mission of Howard F. Wilkins II who served as the chief executive officer from 2019 to his passing on Feb. 19, 2021. The remaining members of the Board of Trustees, having discussed the loss of Howard F. Wilkins II, and his vision, saw no viable path forward for the organization. Due to the pandemic of 2020, and Howard's illness and passing in Feb. of 2021, there was no development on the properties purchased in the latter part of 2019 and no advancement of the Powered Foods' mission. Thus, the Board of Trustees, by unanimous written Consent dated Aug. 9, 2021, agreed to dispose of assets to pay debts and dissolve the corporation.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.

The 4 programs described on its FY2022 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $65,255.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $1.4M to $14k (−99%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base narrowed from 4 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $33k → $19k.
4 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 98% 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 POWERED FOODS’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.
How concentrated its funding is
POWERED FOODS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 POWERED FOODS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 37% · 2019 56% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
Where its funders are
98% of POWERED FOODS'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. Of the $3k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Montana, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $139k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
