Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Fibershed's mission is to provide experiential education that both generates awareness, and teaches the necessary skills within our community to build and sustain a thriving bioregional textile culture that functions hand-in-hand with principles of ecological balance, local economies, and regional organic agriculture.

  • In 2024, Fibershed strengthened and expanded its regional fiber systems through robust programming, education, and producer support. Eight new Fibersheds were launched this year, expanding the national and international network of place-based textile communities. To foster ongoing collaboration, we hosted 12 virtual monthly meetups attended by approximately 144 Affiliate Network members, and distributed 15 targeted email newsletters providing news, opportunities, and technical resources for Affiliates. Fibershed also facilitated four Working Groups-Policy, Education, New Economic Models, and Bast Fiber-offering structured opportunities for Affiliates and partners to develop shared strategies and deepen their expertise. Our Producer Program saw continued growth, enrolling 33 new producers in 2024, 23 of whom are considered socially disadvantaged. Across California, 4,214 acres were enrolled in the program, supporting climate-beneficial land stewardship and material production. Our educational initiatives reached a wide audience: we trained 55 teachers and welcomed more than 200 visitors to the Learning Center. We also hosted 21 partner organizations at the Learning Center for tours, trainings, and collaborative use of the space. In 2024, Fibershed offered 11 hands-on workshops serving 129 students and provided 11 scholarships to increase accessibility and community participation.

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.

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.
