In 2024, The Dry Farming Institute's educational program accomplished the following: Dry Farming Resources improved accessibility to research and resources on dry farming by updating its website and resource page. Through the Seed to Table Market Development program, the organization advanced collaborative market development for dry farmed products by publishing the Dry Farming Zine, distributing 800 copies, and hosting outreach and education events in Portland, including the Variety Showcase in September with 900 attendees and Sagra with 700 attendees. As part of the Western Water Resilience Collaborative, a team effort to support water resilience on farms and ranches along the West Coast, 125 out of 167 registered agricultural advisors from Oregon, Washington, and California attended four virtual workshops focused on water resilience, with 67 attending more than one session. These participants work with small-scale and historically underserved growers and include University Extension professionals, agency staff, consultants, nonprofit staff, and producers. The program also supported six farms in establishing water resilience demonstrations and hosting demo tours attended by 145 people. Interviews with host farms were conducted to inform case studies that will share farm-specific contexts-such as water use, climate, and soil conditions-along with strategies used, lessons learned, and future plans. Soil moisture sensors were especially useful in reducing irrigation and informing decisions.

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.

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.

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.
