Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To build and maintain a community garden that feeds Yancey County and empowers people to grow their own healthy foods.

  • Garden that Gives: Dig In! Community Garden grew food at our one-acre organic garden with our staff and 150 volunteers. All of the produce was donated to distribution programs addressing food insecurity in Yancey County. In 2025, over 7,000 pounds of produce were harvested and shared. Dig In prioritizes growing crops that are nutritionally dense, culturally appropriate, and suited to the Southern Appalachian Mountain climate. We also supported 5 smaller, independent community gardens in Yancey County, NC that share food among their members, with food pantries, or neighbors.

    Expenses $143,325 · Revenue $7,558

  • Food for All: The Food For All programs, in cooperation with our community partners, addresses food insecurity by distributing high-quality fresh produce to residents of Yancey County at no charge. From June to October 2025, Dig In served an average of 200 families weekly through our Harvest Share and Cosecha Para El Pueblo walk-up free markets. Throughout the fall, 25 low-income senior households received pre-packaged shares as well.

  • Learn + Teach: Dig In mentored two farmers-in-training through seasonal internships. We provided hands-on educational programming to 150 individual volunteers between April and October 2025 through Work Together volunteer days. We launched an educational workshop series, called Saturdays in the Garden, with 15 events throughout the year and over 90 unique attendees building skills around food, community, and environmental stewardship. And we launched a membership- based Tool Library with food-related equipment for use by community gardens and individual gardeners.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.

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.

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 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.
