Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE CORNUCOPIA PROJECT'S MISSION IS TO EMPOWER THE COMMUNITY THROUGH HANDS-ON EDUCATION IN SUSTAINABLE FARMING AND NUTRITION, WITH PROGRAMS THAT TEACH YOUTH AND ADULTS TO GROW, PREPARE, AND SHARE HEALTHY, LOCAL FOOD.

  • SCHOOL GARDENS: THE CORNUCOPIA PROJECT'S SCHOOL GARDEN PROGRAM ENGAGES STUDENTS FROM PRESCHOOL THROUGH FIFTH GRADE IN HANDS-ON GARDEN LEARNING, TEACHING THEM HOW TO GROW FOOD WHILE INTEGRATING LESSONS ACROSS VARIOUS SUBJECTS. THE PROGRAM OPERATES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHOOLS ACROSS NEW HAMPSHIRE, PROVIDING BOTH IN-GARDEN EXPERIENCES AND CLASSROOM GARDEN KITS TO MAKE GARDEN EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE TO A WIDER RANGE OF SCHOOLS. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, STUDENTS DEVELOP A DEEPER CONNECTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR FOOD, WHILE SCHOOLS RECEIVE ONGOING SUPPORT TO SUSTAIN THESE OUTDOOR CLASSROOMS.

    Expenses $69,538 · Revenue $41,909

  • HEALTHY COOKING (KITCHEN PROGRAM): THE CORNUCOPIA PROJECT'S KITCHEN PROGRAM BRINGS LOCAL INGREDIENTS INTO THE CLASSROOM AND HOME KITCHENS, OFFERING COOKING LESSONS THAT HIGHLIGHT NUTRITIOUS, PLANT-BASED MEALS. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO INSPIRE YOUNG CHEFS AND PROMOTE HEALTHY EATING HABITS. ACTIVITIES RANGE FROM CLASSROOM SNACK-MAKING AND AFTER-SCHOOL COOKING CLUBS TO FARM-TO-TABLE EXPERIENCES, WHERE STUDENTS HARVEST PRODUCE FROM THE FARM AND PREPARE MEALS ON-SITE. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES TAKE-HOME COOKING KITS THAT INVOLVE FAMILIES IN CREATING WHOLESOME MEALS.

    Expenses $69,538 · Revenue $46,565

  • EDUCATIONAL FARM: THE CORNUCOPIA PROJECT'S EDUCATIONAL FARM SERVES AS A HUB FOR HANDS-ON LEARNING ABOUT SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION. STUDENT FARMERS, INCLUDING MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH, LEARN REGENERATIVE FARMING TECHNIQUES WHILE CULTIVATING CROPS FOR LOCAL RESTAURANTS, SCHOOL CAFETERIAS, AND FOOD PANTRIES. THE FARM OFFERS PAID WORK-STUDY POSITIONS AND EDUCATIONAL INTERNSHIPS, PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH VALUABLE LIFE SKILLS, JOB EXPERIENCE, AND ACADEMIC CREDIT. THE FARM ALSO HOSTS FIELD TRIPS, WORKSHOPS, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT ENGAGE THE BROADER PUBLIC IN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
