Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Founded in 2019, Building Audacity is a nonprofit organization that creates STEM-focused pathways and provides supporting resources within the agriculture field otherwise not available to Black and other youth of color.
-
Taste Health provides a paid learning opportunity for young adults ages 16-24 to hydroponically grow and distribute produce as well as other locally sourced produce and products to the most vulnerable households in the Greater Boston area. Said households are led by seniors who are guardians of school aged children, families who have differently abled family members, and families who live in areas with poor accessibility to public transportation. Specifically, food grown is distributed via our weekly volunteer based distribution system to families in Boston, Chelsea, Lowell and Lynn, MA.
Expenses $271,907 · Revenue $9,358
-
Squash Tomatoes: Via four courses, we provide cooking demonstrations in which guardians and youth can learn how to make culturally aligned meals healthier ultimately increasing their produce intake. At each class we distribute bags of produce, information regarding how they can get locally sourced produce, and recipes that can be used in between courses.
Expenses $38,000
-
AgTeach: A 4- 6 week program at our partner sites. During the program, we teach youth between the ages of 15-24 how to grow hydroponically, operate a food distribution program, the importance of a well balanced based diet, and how to start an agricultural technology "Ag Tech" business. Of our target youth population, those 16-24 are paid $25/hr to learn how to grow and start an Ag Tech Business via 4- 6 week sessions we provide in the Spring and Fall. During these sessions youth build their own hydroponic kits, learn the patent and trademark process, how to secure a business license, and how to get start up funding for their microenterprise.

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.
