We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Global Growers Network partners with people from multiple cultures who grow fresh food for their families and local marketplaces, and grows leaders who strengthen our local food system.

  • For the year ended December 31, 2025, Global Growers Network, Inc. operated the following programs:(1) GGNs Grower Network Team builds relationships and community among the 200+ growers from different backgrounds who are actively growing food for their families and local markets through smallholder plots across metro Atlanta. Growers in GGNs network increase access to and consumption of fresh and culturally relevant foods. They also increase the economic resiliency of their families through cost savings and income generation. (2) GGNs Land Stewardship Team facilitates access to quality farmland for growers. GGN manages a network of farm and community garden sites across metro-Atlanta in order to increase opportunities for growers to preserve and share agricultural traditions. Through community gardens and farms, the land network is designed to increase cooperation among growers in their production and distribution systems. Additionally, the Land Stewardship Team builds and maintains infrastructure such as irrigation, cold storage, wash stations, and tools and equipment that support growers with activating the land. GGN also works to increase the sustainability of land it manages. (3) GGNs Farm Program Team connects growers who are building agricultural businesses to agricultural, market readiness and business support. GGN also fosters collaborations and coalition building among local partners and stakeholders to create a network of support for farmers includingassistance with organic certification. GGN supports growers who sell produce through a variety of distribution channels to create real economic opportunities in local and regional food systems. (4) GGNs Engagement Team fosters experiential learning and volunteer opportunities for community members to deepen their understanding of regenerative agriculture, local food systems, agricultural heritage, and land conservation. GGNs operations were significantly impacted in April 2019 by flooding at Bamboo Creek Farm, which resulted in the closure of the farm operation and disruption to the sales program. In April 2021, GGN entered into a lease with a purchase option with The Conservation Fund to acquire a 23-acre farm inRockdale County. Operations at the new property began in 2022, and GGN completed the purchase of the farm in 2025 following a successful capital campaign to acquire and develop the property.

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.

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
