What Yahara Pride Farms Inc does
Mission
Yahara pride farms is a farmer-led not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to improving water and soil quality in the yahara river watershed through eight different agricultural conservation practices. Yahara pride farms is a 501(c)3 organization.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Practices include four different methods of cover crop applications, three different processes of handling manure, two forms of limiting tillage, and introducing grass planting which improves soil stability and reduce nutrient run-off. Sixty farms are either yahara pride certified or or in the process of being certified. The yahara pride farms certification process measures field, land and stream conservation,crop and soil fertility and assesses facilities to evaluate environmental risks and beneficial practices. Farms become certified after earning at least eighty percent of the available points. The program recognizes good practices already in place and identifies areas where improvements to the land are viable.

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 2017 to 2018, from $511k to $719k (+41%).
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 88% · 2018 92% · 2019 75% · 2020 92% · 2021 95% · 2022 91% · 2023 93% · 2024 87%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of YAHARA PRIDE FARMS INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $10k → $23k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% 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 YAHARA PRIDE FARMS 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.
How concentrated its funding is
YAHARA PRIDE FARMS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 87% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 YAHARA PRIDE FARMS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 73% · 2022 100% · 2023 89% — 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
87% of YAHARA PRIDE FARMS 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. Of the $12k that is directly attributable, 59% of it comes from Wisconsin funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $80k 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.
