What Sprouts of Promise Foundation does
Mission
Sprouts of Promise Foundation ("SOPF") was formed with the goal of educating both children and adults on the importance of healthy eating. With the obesity rate continuing to rise, bringing increased awareness to healthy food choices is critical. Specifically, SOPF will seek to make the community aware of the valuable benefits of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables in one's daily food decisions. SOPF will accomplish this goal with two vehicles of education: 1) in-school education and 2) fresh fruit and vegetable distribution.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
One vehicle of education is the farmers' market experience where local farm produce is brought directly to the comuunity through community events. The operation of farmers' market events will increase awareness and accessibility of local fresh fruits and vegetables. Sprouts of Promise Foundation generates revenues for its programs through fees charged to farmers' markets.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2023 to 2024, from $16k to $113k (+605%).
How it's funded, over time
