What Slp Seeds does
Mission
Seeds feeds is dedicated to hunger relief through growing food that nourishes people, community, and earth, through education, engagement and advocacy in order to; build wellness and resiliency in twin cities neighborhoods, empower and engage marginalized groups and urban agriculture farmers, and provide education, job training and advocacy for food system change.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Programs
Providing hunger relief to those suffering food insecurity is our underlying value. We do so by growing (and teaching others to grow their own) food through our 10 food bank gardens located in and around st. Louis park (2 fire stations, 3 park and rec edible playgrounds, 1 schoolyard farm, 1 community center, and 1 privately owned plot) that provided over 2,000 lbs of harvested and gleaned food for distribution to 25 households during the summer. Once the gardens close for the season, we again started purchasing for 80 households with over 20,000 lbs of food distributed over the last quarter of the year.
$48,282 spent$1,785 earned by the program33% of program spendingOur educational efforts to teach people about food, stretching their food budget dollar and how food affects our water, land and many other environmental effects. We teach elementary students as well as have an internship/apprenticeship program of 140hrs (lecture and lab) where eventually our apprentices teach others in the community through skill shares of what theyve learned and hope to share with others. We work with community education to provide sliding scale workshops and classes from soil to table and back again education, with many side shoots such as food waste reduction, etc. Our continued partnership with university of st. Thomas has also inspired classes to do projects from marketing to strategic planning, and weve continued working with their busn200 students to fulfill their 40hrs of community volunteer work.
$48,282 spent$1,785 earned by the program33% of program spendingWe purposefully engage our community, especially those we serve whose voices are often unheard, to ensure we are fulfilling their needs and desires from our programs and services. We did so through annual events for earth day and our harvest festival, as well as provided the weekly free community potluck-if-you-can meals, plus we provided salad and fresh harvest at our local police weekly basketball and bbq events inside low- income housing neighborhoods.

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 2021 to 2022, from $28k to $63k (+123%).
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: 2021 29% · 2022 38%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $500 → $85k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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 SLP SEEDS’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
SLP SEEDS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
56% 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 SLP SEEDS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2021 49% · 2022 59% — 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.
Where its funders are
56% of SLP SEEDS'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 $51k that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from funders outside Minnesota, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $66k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Government funding SLP SEEDS receives

Federal grants vs contracts are distinguished; state line items keep their reported category. Matched by name + geography (the BMF), so coverage is partial and precision-first.
