Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

The 990 is prepared by a CPA firm, reviewed by management, presented to the board for review, proposed revisions and final approval.

Pt VI, Line 12C

Enforced as necessary. Any board member with a conflict of interest on any specific issue informs the board and abstains from voting on the issue.

Pt VI, Line 15A

In the annual budgeting process, the board approves a budget fline for aggregate salary expense. Thereafter, individual salaries and salary increases for employees are determined by the executive director. The board of directors sets the executive directors salary after a check of comparable salary information for similar organizations with similar budgets.

Pt VI, Line 19

The organizations governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and certain financial statements are available upon request.

Financial Statement Notes

Pt XI, Line 2D

Cost of Goods sold $23,554; Fundraising expenses $488

Pt XII, Line 2D

Cost of Goods sold $23,554; Fundraising expenses $488

Pt X, Line 2

ASAP is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to the organizations tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had no income from unrelated business activities in 2024 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The organization believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.

IRS990/Desc0ASAPs three programmatic areas are the Local Food Campaign, Growing Minds program and Local Food Research Center. The Local Food Campaigns capacity building work gives farmers and buyers skills, tools, resources, and connections they need to succeed. The Appalachian Grown regional branding and certification program certified over 850 farms. Those farms gain access to promotional and packaging materials to identify farm products as certified local. More than 450 partner businesses including grocers, restaurants, distributors, hospitals, colleges, and public schools also participate in the program. Local Food Campaign organizers help make connections between farmers and buyers, share stories about food and farms in our communities, and promote local food where consumers shop and dine. This includes events such as ASAPs Annual Farm Tour and publishing the Local Food Guide, of which 70,000 copies were printed and distributed. The program hosts its annual ASAP Business of Farming Conference, delivering over a dozen workshops to hundreds of participants. ASAP operates a weekly farmers market in downtown Asheville and assists more than 100 farmers markets to understand best practices for management, promotion, and navigation of the regulatory environment. To expand participation in the local food movement, ASAP operates two incentive programs, including Double SNAP for Fruits and Vegetables and a Farm Fresh Produce Prescription program to provide eligible participants with weekly incentives for local fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers markets. In 2024 the program supported farms with relief and recovery resources in response to Hurricane Helene, including offering immediate need funds and and reinstating Appalachian Farms Feeding Families to connect farmers with alternative market outlets.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0ASAPs Growing Minds program connects education, health, and wellness programming with local agriculture. This program provides support and resources in order to create healthy food environments and experiences to better the health of all members of our community, including children, their parents, teachers, and school staff. The program provides workshops and other training to educators so that they can integrate local food, healthy eating, and farm-based activities into their work. Implementation is supported through tools, resources, materials, and funds distributed to teachers and community health professionals across the region. This helps to facilitate the creation/maintenance of school gardens, provide cooking demonstrations, support local procurement for classrooms and cafeterias, or take farm field trips. The program facilitates positive local food and farm experiences for thousands of children throughout our service region. Dietetic Interns from partner colleges and universities are trained to implement farm-to- school activities in their future professions. ASAP continued the Growing Minds @ Community Colleges to embed farm to preschool into NC Community College early childhood education programs. Growing Minds co-facilitates the NC Farm to Preschool Network and serves on the advisory committee for the Farm to School Coalition of North Carolina.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The Local Food Research Center (LFRC) examines the social, economic, and environmental impacts of localizing food systems. The center researches and tests ASAPs theory of food system change. ASAPs theory is that creating democratic and responsive food systems will increase community well-being, build resilient economies, and support environmental sustainability. Closer connections and knowledge developed through food system experiences empowers citizens to consciously create a just and sustainable food system. LFRC provides research and support for ASAPs ongoing programming for farmers and the community, content and context for the Local Food Guide, ASAPs annual report, and more. Research findings also support ASAPs fundraising efforts and research staff provides content, framing, and writing support for several proposals. LFRC also provides ongoing evaluation assistance to other ASAP programs and administers ASAPs annual survey to farmers, which informs the work of the Local Food Campaign.
