Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

Preserve International exists to fight hunger and minimize the burden of seasonal poverty in East Africa through the provision of innovative, rurally-minded food preservation technology and training to reduce post-harvest crop loss. We also endeavor to spread awareness of food waste reduction practices in the U.S. through education and training on seasonal eating and safe food preservation techniques.

  • Preserve International, through its on-the-ground operations in Uganda, continued to expand its Train-the-Trainer model in 2025, strengthening local capacity and deepening community impact. Building on prior work, the organization added an additional 28 community-based agricultural groups, primarily composed of women and refugee-led initiatives. The program base was transitioned from Yumbe to Palorinya, where Preserve International partnered with Impact Driven Mission, a local refugee-led organization, to provide more comprehensive and integrated training. Trainings included techniques in solar dehydration, water bath canning, and improved storage practices to reduce post-harvest loss, alongside expanded support in agriculture, group development, and financial management. Preserve International Uganda also distributed hundreds of PICS bags, drying tarps, and other post-harvest handling supplies to support safe storage and reduce crop loss. The organization continued deploying Sparky dryers, a locally designed solar and biofuel-powered food dehydrator, to help preserve seasonal harvests such as mangoes, tomatoes, and leafy greens. These efforts enabled participants to improve household nutrition and generate income by selling preserved goods during the off-season. Through this model, Preserve International empowered local trainers and participants, fostering stronger integration within the community and reducing dependence on external facilitation. The approach emphasizes sustainable, relationship-driven development and long-term resilience across refugee and host populations.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

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 11 November 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.
