“There were no committee meetings held in 2017.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“A draft of the 2017 form 990 is provided to management for review and approval. A final draft is submitted to the board for review prior to submission to the irs.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“Farm aid's conflict of interest policy applies to all board members and officers. It is monitored by the organization's operations director.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“Farm aid methodically assesses and makes decisions on salary levels based on independent market rate compensation surveys produced by its payroll provider, a national leader in payroll management. Salaries are determined using the compensation analyses, and based on the 50th percentile of market rate for each position given farm aid's geographic location and line of work. Additionally, farm aid utilizes bureau of labor statistics data for annual cost of living salary increases, to be waived in the event of severe organizational financial difficulty, or in the event of a recent market rate adjustment. Expansion of job description is the determining factor in making other salary increases. The executive director makes all final salary determinations, except in the case of the executive director's salary, in which case, it is determined by the board of directors.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“Governing documents and conflict of interest policy are made available upon request. Financial statements are available on our website, and are also made available upon request.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | HELPING FARMERS THRIVE (HFT)- THROUGH THE 1-800-FARM-AID HOTLINE AND [email protected] EMAIL SERVICE, FARM AID'S IN-HOUSE FARM ADVOCATE REFERS FARMERS TO AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF FAMILY FARM AND RURAL SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. REFERRALS PROVIDE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT TO FARM FAMILIES IN CRISIS AND FARMERS SEEKING TO TRANSITION TO MORE SUSTAINABLE FARMING PRACTICES, AS WELL AS FOR INDIVIDUALS LOOKING TO BECOME FARMERS. THERE WERE 566 CALLS AND EMAILS TO THE FARM AID HOTLINE IN 2017, A 24% INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.FARM AID'S RESOURCE NETWORK (FARMAID.ORG/IDEAS) OFFERS AN INTERACTIVE WEBSITE AND DATABASE OF MORE THAN 700 ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR NEW FARMERS, DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO FARMERS IN CRISIS, AND SUPPORT FOR FARMERS LOOKING TO TRANSITION TO MORE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION METHODS AND MARKETS. THROUGH THE FARMER RESOURCE NETWORK, FARM AID MAKES CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS, FARM SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, AND BUSINESSES TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FARMERS. FARM AID POINTS FARMERS AND ADVOCATES TO OUR MOST TRUSTED RESOURCES, NEW OFFERINGS AND TIMELY OPPORTUNITIES VIA OUR CURATED RESOURCE GUIDES AND THE RESOURCE SPOTLIGHT BLOG. IN 2017, WE OFFICIALLY PREMIERED HOMEPLACE UNDER FIRE BEFORE A PUBLIC AUDIENCE. THIS SHORT DOCUMENTARY FILM, PRODUCED BY FARM AID, TELLS THE STORY OF THE UNSEEN, GRASSROOTS WORK OF FARM ADVOCATES AND THEIR FIGHT TO KEEP FAMILY FARMERS ON THE LAND. THE PREMIER WAS AT DUKE UNIVERSITY FOLLOWED BY A PANEL DISCUSSION INCLUDING FARM AID'S JOHN MELLENCAMP, CAROLYN MUGAR AND JENNIFER FAHY, THE FILM'S DIRECTOR, FARM ADVOCATES, AND FARMERS. IN OCTOBER, FARM AID SCREENED THE FILM IN TISHOMINGO, OK. A PANEL DISCUSSION FOLLOWED THE FILM, WITH FARM AID'S ADVOCATE JOE SCHROEDER AND MONA LEE BROCK DEMONSTRATING HOW AN ADVOCATE RESPONDS TO A FARMER AT RISK OF SUICIDE. FARM AID AWARDED $396,600 IN GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP FARMERS SECURE THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO BEGIN FARMING, ACCESS NEW MARKETS, GROW SUSTAINABLY, AND BUILD RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF FINANCIAL AND NATURAL DISASTERS. DUE TO THE REMARKABLE NUMBER OF NATURAL DISASTERS THAT OCCURRED IN 2017, THE GRANTS AWARDED INCLUDE $158,600 TO MORE THAN 260 FAMILIES AFFECTED BY EXTREME DROUGHT, WILDFIRES, SEVERE WIND AND HURRICANES HARVEY, IRMA AND MARIA IN THE AFFECTED AREAS, AND $15,000 TO SUPPORT FARMERS AFFECTED BY EMERGENCIES AND ECONOMIC DISASTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING LOW DAIRY AND CROP PRICES. FARM AID LENT ITS EXPERIENCE, AND A GREAT DEAL OF DONATED STAFF TIME, TO PLAY A ROLE IN THE LONG-AWAITED DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS FROM THE HISTORIC CLASS ACTION SUIT, IN RE BLACK FARMERS DISCRIMINATION LITIGATION. THE SUIT WAS BROUGHT BY BLACK FARMERS AGAINST THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOR DECADES OF DISCRIMINATION IN FARM LENDING. BECAUSE THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A NATIONWIDE BLACK-LED AGRICULTURAL-SECTOR FUNDER, CLASS COUNSEL FROM THIS CASE ENGAGED FARM AID, WITH ITS 32 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE COLLABORATING WITH AND MAKING GRANTS TO BLACK FARMING ORGANIZATIONS, TO AID IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND OUTREACH PROCESS WITH THE GOAL OF STABILIZING ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY PROVIDED AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL SERVICES TO BLACK FARMERS. AFTER DESIGNING THE PROCESS, DOING OUTREACH AND RECEIVING GRANT PROPOSALS, FARM AID STAFF EVALUATED EACH PROPOSAL AND PROVIDED RECOMMENDATIONS TO CLASS COUNSEL. COUNSEL THEN SUBMITTED THEIR OWN RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT, WHICH MADE FINAL DECISIONS ON DISBURSEMENT OF APPROXIMATELY $4 MILLION FROM THE FUND. |
