The food grown from the fields and orchards of the 30-acre farm is distributed primarily to Native families through a range of community-centered channels. These include our Indigenous Food Share (IFS), a CSA-style program tailored specifically for Native households; weekly Farmers Market in Minneapolis; wholesale partnerships with Native chefs and restaurants; distribution at youth programs and community events; and regular donations to community partners. In 2020, we added 20 acres to our original 10-acre farm (totaling 30 acres), furthering a vision of regional food sovereignty. This land will support emerging Native farmers, expand youth programming, and model regenerative land stewardship, all rooted in years of community collaboration to restore Native health and lifeways through food and cultural connection. 346454 2000 4650 The Native Youth Education & Leadership program empowers Native youth, ages 821, through year-round, culturally grounded learning and leadership opportunities. Rooted in our farm and community spaces, the program provides a safe, supportive environment where youth connect with the land, learn about regenerative organic agriculture, traditional foodways, and nutrition, and gain critical employment and life skills. Programs include: Cora's Kids (ages 8-12), Garden Warriors (13-18), Youth Leaders (14-18), and Youth Interns (ages 17-21). Our impact is visible and lasting. Many have continued their journeys within DWH, growing into internship roles, seasonal staff positions, and even serving on our Board of Directors. Through Indigenous-led advocacy, outreach, and peer education, our youth are not only learning, they are leading. By centering cultural identity, community connection, and personal growth, this program supports youth in building the confidence, knowledge, and leadership needed to thrive in school, in their communities, and in their futures. 296211 0 888 The Indigenous Food Network (IFN), a program of DWH, is a collaborative urban Twin Cities community initiative. The IFN mission is to rebuild sovereign food systems within the intertribal Native community through collaboration. Rooted in the understanding that food sovereignty is essential to Native health, culture, and self-determination, IFN works to revitalize traditional foodways and decolonize diets. Born from shared community leadership, the IFN supports a wide range of initiatives from community gardens and youth advocacy to institutional policy change. These initiatives are designed by community and for community in order to improve health outcomes and restore cultural knowledge. By uplifting Native farmers, producers, and entrepreneurs, IFN helps build sustainable, Indigenous-led food economies and ensures that wealth remains in our communities. 7367 0 0 Other 7367 0 0 1334042 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 35 0 1 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X Neely Snyder 6128744200 1508 E Franklin Avenue Suite 100 Minneapolis MN 55404 Jackie Dionne Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Bice Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pam Gokey Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Faith Gronda Board Member 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Joy Persall Board Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Nation Wright Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Neely Snyder Executive Director 40.00 X 117692 0 3591 117692 0 3591 1 0 0 0 0 461500 294796 3089614 3845910 Other Program Fees 900099 36297 36297 Farm Income 110000 4950 4950 41247 125858 125858 888 0 888 888 4013903 42135 0 125858 2000 2000 121283 72770 36988 11525 1043782 841279 202503 137854 47749 90105 88530 26493 61185 852 36698 36698 101405 101405 158368 155868 2500 93769 77256 16513 3608 2286 1322 53950 12538 41412 29243 23467 5776 14836 6840 7996 44976 44976 17212 17212 Food 34322 33169 1153 Repairs and Maintenance 20079 20079 Dues & Subscriptions 16218 3619 12599 Bank Fees 2863 20 2843 19046 8609 10437 2040042 1334042 592218 113782 216705 185091 3396595 4306453 1081168 1241258 20605 5259 2095 2095 24033 1179252 306538 884714 872714 1507089 2445667 7108971 9082570 350723 229895 10229 130795 360952 360690 X 4039478 6864868 2708541 1857012 6748019 8721880 7108971 9082570 1973861 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1538914 1855520 3035009 4238195 3845910 14513548 1538914 1855520 3035009 4238195 3845910 14513548 1083403 13430145 366 1891 33275 125858 161390 2946 1331 888 5165 14680103 336922 0.91490 0.84110 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10- Other income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 613595 613595 263521 85164 178357 302136 221374 80762 872714 Construction in Progress 2092003 Other Receivable - Employee Retention Credit 216817 Right-of-Use Asset - Operating Lease 130110 Security Deposit 6737 2445667 Lease Liability-Operating Leases 130795 130795 X 4014263 360 360 4013903 0 4013903 2040402 360 360 2040042 0 2040042 Part X, Line 2: The Organization's activities are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since the Organization is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income tax expense. The Organization is not a private foundation. Management has determined that the Organization is not subject to unrelated business income tax. Management is not aware of any transactions that would impact the Organization's tax-exempt status. The Organization follows the guidance of the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to uncertainties in income taxes, which prescribes a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and derecognition of positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, management of the Organization is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions. All tax-exempt entities are subject to review and audit by federal, state and other applicable agencies. Such agencies may review the taxability of unrelated business income, or the qualification of the tax-exempt entity under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. For federal tax purposes, the tax returns remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns.
