What Red Wing Area Farmers Market Association Inc does
Mission
To provide a convenient and cohesive environment where our community can purchase the freshest locally grown produce and farmstead products available directly from farmers and producers who represent traditions and skills we value as part of our way of life. We provide education around gardening, from garden experts every other week at the market, we provide education to children who come to the market about fresh fruits and vegetables with fun activities and we also distribute local food to community members with the greatest inequities and disparities and provide education to them about how to cook, prepare and store these items. We distributed 60 boxes of food each week to clients in the community for 25 weeks.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2024 to 2025, from $10k to $30k (+206%).
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: 2025 61%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
64% of RED WING AREA FARMERS MARKET ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
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 RED WING AREA FARMERS MARKET ASSOCIATION 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 RED WING AREA FARMERS MARKET ASSOCIATION 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. $8k 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.
