Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of Annie's Project-Education for Farm Women (APEFW) is to empower women in agriculture to be successful through education, networks, and resources. APEFW conducts training for facilitators who, in turn, deliver Annie's Project classes using the Annie's Project Methodology which means small groups; safe, dynamic, and interactive class environment, vetted presenters, and unbiased research-based information. A local steering committee formed by the trained facilitator adapts the program to the area of delivery by selecting relevant and specific topics. Core values of the program are safe harbor, shared experiences, discovery, and connection. The result is a confident farm woman with improved business decision-making skills, and a network of peers and professionals to support her and her community.

  • Facilitator Training and Program Delivery: six training programs in 2024 added 101 facilitators from 22 States, who in turn conducted 36 Annie's Project Programs in 15 states reaching 767 farm women. Average size class was 21 farm and ranch women. APEFW moved to online delivery for training. Program delivery to farm and ranch women was a combination of in person and online delivery. APEFW worked with a third party evaluator, Research Institute for Studies in Education, Iowa State University (RISE) to provide pre and post evaluations documenting program impact. The results showed Annie's Project risk management courses were effective in achieving the goal of improving women's knowledge in all five areas of agricultural risk management: financial, human resource, legal, marketing and production. According to the post evaluation the top three areas of interest were marketing, estate planning and basic financial documents. The full pre and post reports can be found on the Anniesproject.org website.

    Expenses $60,000

  • In 2023 Annie's Project entered into a partnership with USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) on a project called "Building Resiliency with a More Diverse Delivery Strategy, the Underserved Agent/Loss Adjuster Training Program Pilot Program" It aimed to reach producers and individuals that had a livelihood in the space of agriculture. This collaborative pilot program's strategic engagement with minority-serving institutions and underserved stakeholder groups established a pipeline of crop insurance agents and adjusters within the underserved communities. The intent of the program was to increase the underserved representation of insurance agents and loss adjusters providing service to underserved producers. Since 2023 and all through 2024, Annie's Project enrolled 7 agents preparing for their licenses, 3 completed getting/renewing their licenses, and 21 crop insurance adjusters in training for their certification and job interviews with Approved Insurance Providers (AIP). Two agents were hired by local Approved Insurance Providers. Other deliverables for this project 1) Annie's Project invited all AIP's to participate in a meeting to answer questions on agents and adjusters. The following participated in sessions: Advanced Ag Protection, Rain & Hail, Crop Risk Services, Hudson, Agri-Sompo, Federal Crop Insurance Corp. We connected with 14 people from AIPs and National Crop Insurance Services. We also connected with Great American Insurance who reached out to us. We directly connected with 15 different people with seven different AIPs. 2) All adjuster candidates were provided support in resume & interview skills by Annie's Project staff. Some participated in the live workshop. All were provided with written materials from workshop (21 total) 3) Provided training and one on one connections on developing business plans, goals and market plans. Participants either participated live or via recording. We provided training to people with Annie's (29 people) and our partners. 4) Annie's Project hosted a Q & A session for participants to learn more about being an Agent or Adjuster from people who worked for or with AIPs. Potential adjusters had follow-up connections through National Crop Insurance Services job fairs.This project ended Mid February of 2025. The project's agreement number is 2022-RMAPILOT-2.

  • A third partnership with RMA in 2024 involved an outreach effort with NRCS to educate farm and ranch women audiences about NRCS programs and services.

  • Other programs for 2024 included National collaborations providing Stress management webinars in partnership with Veterans Farmers Coalition and Monica McConkey, noted stress management and suicide prevention presenter; Nebraska Women in Ag bookclub, and other programs where Annie's Project CEO were invited to present and share the Annie's Project Progam with their audiences.

Annie's Project YouTube Channel contains all of Annie's Projects on line national programs and are available to the public. Total education contacts in 2024 were 3,021.

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.

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 May 2011.

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.
