We continued food distribution efforts at our Resource Centers, mobile distributions, community farm, and through our network of 250+ partner agencies across our 5-county service area of Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, Pima, and Santa Cruz Counties. Caridad Community Kitchen distributed 423,148 meals to seniors and the broader community throughout southern Arizona this fiscal year. We continue to serve our communities through our two major USDA programs: The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)and the Commodities Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). We provided 500,390 (TEFAP) and 87,772 (CSFP) food boxes through these two USDA programs. For food-insecure populations, lack of access to healthy food often results in a wide variety of negative health outcomes like increased incidence and prevalence of diabetes, poor management of certain behavioral conditions, and social isolation. Our health and food efforts work across our service area to provide nutritious, locally sustainable foods to those who are experiencing hunger and adverse health outcomes. Our community health-care partnerships help advance regional measures and have the potential to inform national policy. 2014290 13117 16306 Educational Programs: We believe resources and opportunities are inequitably distributed between communities, and that education can help build a bridge out of poverty toward improved socio-economic conditions. We continued to provide both virtual and in-person training on topics like environmental stewardship, gardening, nutrition, social connection through skill building, engagement, career readiness, and leadership development. At Caridad Community Kitchen, we provided 7,045 hours in culinary training to 18 students. All our efforts are grounded in support of our mission to build healthy, hunger-free communities. 1515839 1190172 171011 Community Development Programs: We believe hunger and poverty are outcomes of broader systems and local policies that create a sense of powerlessness, resource inequity, and issues of under or over-representation. Our community development work focuses on groups, organizations, and governments to create opportunities for change in these systems. We lead initiatives that increase the capacity, engagement, and self-determination of community members and organizations to determine, enact, and sustain solutions to systemic problems and local issues. In the past fiscal year, we awarded $1,018,619 to partner organizations for projects to maintain or improve services, train and educate community members, address disparities with dignity, and change the conditions that cause food insecurity and poverty. Through Avanzando LLC, we provided fiscal sponsorship and technical assistance to 8 community groups. Each of these projects is in line with CFB's mission to build healthy, hunger-free communities. We continue to engage and train people in community-building events at Las Milpitas Community Farm and at Nuestra Tierra Garden. Our Santa Cruz River Farmers Market generated over $252,722 in direct-to-consumer sales. Of that total, 49% percent consisted of Public Assistance benefits including SNAP/food stamps, Double-Up Food Bucks (SNAP-match), and Farmers' Market Nutrition Program coupons for low-income older adults and families with children. We convened the Farm-to-Institution Value Chain initiative to continue building institutional markets for local farm products, creating more than $650,000 in pre-season contracts with local farmers, and facilitating sales to institutional buyers. Through funding, technical assistance, and leadership development, we help to build resilient organizations and networks. As new leaders emerge and new needs arise, they are better able to weather storms and maintain healthy communities. 98521466 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 164 0 1 235 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X X The Organization 5206220525 3003 S Country Club Tucson AZ 85713 Mark Brown Board Chair - 10/25/2024 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Nathan Rothschild Board Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Benjamin Moore Vice Chair - 10/25/2024 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Lydia Hunter Board Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Smith Board Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Aaron Cardona Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aaron Cornman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Courtney Henson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Denise Mangano Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Katherine Lunde Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Maggie Hammarstrom Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Noel Hennessey Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rene Lopez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Yakeleen Almazan Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Malea Chavez Chief Executive Officer and President 40.00 X 298288 0 21890 Ryan Lee Thomas Director of Finance 40.00 X 96979 0 3615 Shanika Noel Chief Financial Officer 40.00 X 14986 0 455 Siomara Castillo Chief Development Officer 40.00 X 216658 0 14984 Gregory Tipton Chief Operations Officer 40.00 X 213100 0 0 Shannon Marie Baggini Chief People & Culture Officer 40.00 X 182786 0 19823 Erin Glockner Chief Organizational Development Officer 40.00 X 149367 0 25513 Joseph Pontes Director of Operations 40.00 X 103642 0 16572 Audra Christophel Vice President of Community Development 40.00 X 108566 0 11189 Claudio Andres Rodriguez Vice President of Policy and Advocacy 40.00 X 102357 0 10488 1486729 0 124529 8 0 1 0 Benjamin Vogel Architect 4729 E Sunrise Drive 142 Tucson AZ 85718 Architect 274597 Bonnie S Barrett 7264 Pine Woods Way Olmsted Township OH 44138 Consulting 256336 Erie Custom Computer Applications Inc 1600 Peninsula Drive Erie PA 16505 Management software 107417 3 126427 4039257 96611354 78829681 100777038 Earned Revenue 624200 1589134 1589134 1589134 964995 964995 17334881 140637 15784903 108556 1549978 32081 1582059 1582059 0 126427 39167 -39167 -39167 Miscellaneous 900099 8909 8909 8909 104882968 1589134 0 2516796 1158050 1158050 82302772 82302772 436213 126300 263390 46523 9818605 7324861 1445080 1048664 1754439 1332168 259384 162887 772799 563384 129893 79522 3542 3542 117212 117212 3071414 1424913 831730 814771 339402 180270 1889 157243 249161 141261 15692 92208 452409 401868 30555 19986 123033 76422 37829 8782 75824 66836 530 8458 1056083 1011410 34616 10057 253069 237751 1942 13376 Supplies 792475 705741 42004 44730 Maintenance and Repairs 637513 624880 8416 4217 Staff, Board, Donor & V 380542 164778 133221 82543 Auto and Truck Expenses 360626 359183 801 642 621382 318618 60522 242242 104776565 98521466 3418248 2836851 1531106 4275087 10941930 7352362 1281487 2076101 5461327 5803467 286505 536956 31090809 13821955 15117300 17268854 23148660 21105072 57768315 58417899 1958509 1682074 4555423 4114611 841499 1745208 187011 178841 7542442 7720734 X 46545232 47382796 3680641 3314369 50225873 50697165 57768315 58417899 106403 364889 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 172892893 125335457 77105164 80284653 100777038 556395205 183996 183996 183996 183996 183996 919980 173076889 125519453 77289160 80468649 100961034 557315185 557315185 16191204 13358185 6150287 11558774 18440513 65698963 22640 82960 90299 104626 8909 309434 623323582 10374089 0.89410 0.92150 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 3542 0 1 3542 0 Part II-B, Line 1: During the tax year, the Organization did not expend any direct funding in support of ballot initiatives.

Part V, Line 4: The Organization's endowments were established to support, further and enhance the mission of the Organization. Part X, Line 2: CFB is exempt from federal and state income taxes under the Federal Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 510(c)(3) and Arizona income tax laws and is classified as other than a private foundation under IRC Section 509(a)(1). CFB also qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under IRC Section 170(b)(1)(a). AVZ is a single-member limited liability company which is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Management has considered its tax positions in accordance with the accounting standard for uncertainty in income taxes and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. In addition, Management is not aware of any matters which would cause the Organization to lose its tax-exempt status. The Organizations's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years and four years, respectively, after they are filed. Should the Organization ever be subject to interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, they would be classified in management and general expenses in its accompanying financial statements. During the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Organization did not recognize any interest and penalties. Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Special Events 39,167.

During the current year we had two grant initiatives - Thriving Communities Grants and discretionary awards. Our Thriving Communities Grants open annually and are given to organizations and community groups working in our 5-county service area whose impact on the community compliments the Food Bank's mission to feed the hungry today, and build a healthy, hunger-free tomorrow. These awards are designed to support partners in addressing various aspects of food security, community health, social justice, and the root causes of hunger. We provided a lesser number of discretionary grant awards to partner agencies experiencing an emergency. All applications for grants are reviewed by multiple staff members. Thriving Communities Grants are awarded within a determined grant period, whereas discretionary grants are awarded as needed throughout the year. All grantees sign a grant agreement and are required to submit a report at the end of the grant period detailing project outcomes, learnings, and verifying project completion. Sch I, Part III, Line 1 The Organization uses a proprietary software program to track receipt of non-cash grants by individuals. The State sets parameters for eligibility for certain programs which the Organization also tracks through specialized software. The Organization uses monitoring to track non-cash grants used by its agencies. This monitoring covers both requirements of the granting agency and those imposed by the Organization itself. Monitoring is logged in paper and electronic files, depending on the requirement.
