Mission and programs · 2024

• DUE TO THE SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN REQUESTS FOR YOUTH ENGAGEMENT AND PROGRAMMING UCAN INCREASED ITS OFFERING OF PROGRAM SERVICES AND TRAINING. WE EXPANDED OUR APIARY FROM TWO BEEHIVE TO SEVEN. THIS EXPANSION INCLUDED THE NEED NOT ONLY TO PURCHASE BEES, CONSTRUCT HIVES BUT ALSO TO PURCHASE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS. NOT ONLY DID THE INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR YOUTH SERVICES NECESSITATE THE ADDITION OF MORE GARDEN BEDS BUT ALSO THE ADDITION OF A LARGE GREENHOUSE FOR PRODUCTION OF PLANTS AND AN EXPOSURE TO DIVERSITY OF VEGETABLES. MORE FRUIT TREES WERE ADDED TO THE ORCHARD AND POLLINATORS AND NATIVE FRUIT TREES WERE PLANTED THROUGHOUT THE FOREST TO ADD NON-TRADITIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING SERVICES. ONE OF THE BIGGEST ADDITIONS WAS THE CONSTRUCTION AND SUBSEQUENT TEACHING OF HIGH TUNNEL AGRICULTURE.

  Expenses $17,871

• OUR INFRASTRUCTURE REBUILDING/REPURPOSING INITIATIVES CONTINUES WITH THE ADDITION OF MORE WALKING TRAILS FOR PROGRAMMING AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS THAT PROVIDE ACCESS TO OPEN GREEN SPACES. TRAIL MAINTENANCE IS ONGOING. WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE MILLHOUSE WE ARE NOW ABLE TO PROVIDE TRAINING IN FOOD PREPARATION AND PRESERVATION. HAVING HVAC, AN EQUIPPED KITCHEN, BATHROOM AND MEETING SPACES, THE CATAWBA TRAIL FARM IS NOW ABLE TO HOST AND SERVE YEAR-ROUND. WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY IN REPURPOSING AN OLD CORN CRIB INTO AN INTERGENERATION HOUSE; A PLACE FOR THE GENERATIONS TO LEARN TO VALUE EACH OTHER AND ENGAGE IN ORAL HISTORY, THE ART OF STORYTELLING AND TRADITIONALLY INTERACTIVE SKILL BUILDING. SINCE ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY GARDEN BEDS ARE UTILIZED BY LOCAL RESIDENTS UCAN INVESTED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 32'X71' HIGH TUNNEL THEREBY ALLOWING US TO INTRODUCE ANOTHER AGRICULTURE METHOD, TO HAVE FRESH PRODUCE TO DONATE TO THOSE FACING FOOD INSECURITY AND TO CREATE MORE SELF-SUSTAINING SUPPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION.

  Expenses $2,560

• KNOWLEDGEABLE CONTRACTORS AND STAFF ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY SERVICES; RESEARCHED, BEST PRACTICE TECHNIQUES. HAVING STAFF IS AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY. TWO FULL TIME AND THREE PART-TIME EMPLOYEES PAID A LIVING WAGE (ALTHOUGH STILL BELOW MARKET VALUE) IS COSTLY WHEN ONE FACTOR IN LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL TAXES AND MANDATES. THE NEED FOR SKILLED CONTRACTOR IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES/BUILDINGS, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND DELIVERY OF SERVICES IS UNQUESTIONABLE. IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF GRANTS AND DONATIONS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO AFFORD THIS MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT. CAPACITY BUILDING GRANT FUNDING AND UNRESTRICTED DONATIONS MADE THIS POSSIBLE.

  Expenses $55,668

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.
