Mission and programs · 2025

• COMMUNICATIONSTHE STORYTELLING PROGRAM IS AT THE HEART OF KTG. KTG CREATES AND PRODUCES DOCUMENTARIES, EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT THAT ARE ENGAGING AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. IN ITS LONG-FORM MINI-DOCUMENTARY SERIES, KTG HIGHLIGHTS INDIVIDUAL FARMERS' JOURNEYS AS THEY IMPLEMENT REGENERATIVE PRACTICES ON THEIR LAND. IN ITS EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS, KTG EDUCATES AUDIENCES ON TOPICS SUCH AS SOIL HEALTH, COMPOSTING, AND REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE, WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF LEADING EXPERTS AND ACTIVISTS IN THE MOVEMENT. KTG'S SHORT-FORM CONTENT, PRIMARILY FEATURED ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, IS DESIGNED TO BE APPROACHABLE AND WIDELY ACCESSIBLE. KTG HAS SPREAD AWARENESS THROUGH CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS THAT HAVE RESULTED IN TWO CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DOCUMENTARIES, THE FIRST KISS THE GROUND, RELEASED ON NETFLIX IN SEPTEMBER 2020, AND THE FOLLOW-UP FILM COMMON GROUND, RELEASED IN THEATERS IN 2023. BOTH FILMS CONTINUE TO SERVE AS FOUNDATIONAL TOOLS FOR EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

• EDUCATIONTHE EDUCATION PROGRAM WAS CREATED TO EDUCATE, INSPIRE, AND EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS, FARMERS, AND BUSINESSES TO BECOME IMPACTFUL ADVOCATES FOR THE REGENERATIVE MOVEMENT BY PROVIDING ONLINE CLASSES, WORKSHOPS, AND A SPEAKER'S BUREAU. KTG BELIEVES THAT EDUCATION IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL TOOLS OF THE REGENERATIVE MOVEMENT. THROUGH ON-DEMAND COURSES, PUBLIC SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, AND FREE RESOURCES, WE OFFER MULTIPLE WAYS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO LEARN AND GROW WITHIN THIS EXPANDING GLOBAL MOVEMENT. THROUGH THIS WORK, KTG CONTINUES TO SERVE AS A LEADING EDUCATIONAL HUB FOR REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE, EQUIPPING INDIVIDUALS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS TO DRIVE MEANINGFUL CHANGE. IN 2025, KTG EXPANDED ITS EDUCATIONAL REACH AND ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH DIGITAL CONTENT, PURCHASING GUIDES, AND COURSE OFFERINGS, INCLUDING SPANISH-LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING. WHILE EDUCATION REMAINS A CORNERSTONE OF KTG'S EFFORTS, ITS FEDERAL POLICY ADVOCACY WORK, INCLUDING ENGAGEMENT WITH THE REGENERATE AMERICA COALITION AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE FARM BILL, WAS PAUSED IN 2025. IN RESPONSE TO SHIFTING LEGISLATIVE TIMELINES, WE REDIRECTED OUR EFFORTS TOWARD DIRECT FARMER SUPPORT AND PROGRAMMATIC INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO ACCELERATE THE ADOPTION OF REGENERATIVE PRACTICES. KTG EXPANDED ITS INITIATIVES SUPPORTING FARMERS IN REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE AND ADDRESSING KEY CHALLENGES THEY FACE IN THEIR TRANSITION. IN 2025, KTG PROVIDED DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND RESOURCES TO FARMERS AND RANCHERS, STRENGTHENING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CONSUMERS AND REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE.

• PARTNERSHIPSTHE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM REFLECTS KTG'S BELIEF THAT MEANINGFUL TRANSFORMATION IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH STRONG, ALIGNED PARTNERSHIPS. SINCE 2013, KTG HAS BEEN A TRUSTED VOICE IN THIS SPACE, SUPPORTING COMPANIES IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ADVANCE REGENERATION THROUGH STORYTELLING AND EDUCATION. EMPLOYEES, COMPANY LEADERSHIP, AND CONSUMERS ARE INCREASINGLY INTERESTED IN REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE AS A SOLUTION FOR HUMAN AND PLANETARY HEALTH. KTG PROVIDES GUIDANCE, SUPPORT, AND EDUCATION TO HELP PARTNERS ENGAGE IN THE REGENERATIVE MOVEMENT AND MAKE AN IMPACT ACROSS FOOD, FIBER, AND RELATED INDUSTRIES.

  Expenses $17,505

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
