Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Covenant Pathways farm (Spirit Farm) was developed to be a living example of how we can recover and reclaim traditional farming and spiritual practices, along with modern practices, to establish resiliency in our way of life, reducing the dependency on the very food system that is harming us. Spirit Farm continues to develop the demonstration farm that uses all organic practices, including microbiological composting, to heal the hard high desert southwestern soil. Our mission is to generate opportunities that impact individuals and communities with Native traditions that attach the human spirit to the Earth. In addition, we provide additional opportunities for growers to increase the quantity and quality of their produce, as well as use less water, which is a critical step when growing food in our climate.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Covenant Pathways farm (Spirit Farm) was developed to be a living example of how we can recover and reclaim traditional farming and spiritual practices, along with modern practices, to establish resiliency in our way of life, reducing the dependency on the very food system that is harming us. We apply ancestral Indigenous wisdom integrating creative solutions energized by nature that provides experience and training to grow nutrient rich foods in the southwest high desert. Spirit Farm uses all organic practices, including microbiological composting, to heal the hard high desert southwestern soil. Our mission is to generate opportunities that impact individuals and communities with Native traditions that attach the human spirit to the Earth. In addition, we provide additional opportunities for growers to increase the quantity and quality of their produce, as well as use less water, which is a critical step when growing food in our climate.
-
Spirit Farm: Develop and maintain a demonstration and experiential farm that uses only natural practices including microbiological composting, to heal the high desert southwestern soil and be a living example of how we can recover and reclaim traditional farming and spiritual practices, along with modern practices, to restore natures cycles to heal the environment and establish resiliency in our way of life, reducing the dependency on the very food system that is harming us. The farm provides visual models and discussion opportunities with growers of methods that can increase the quantity and quality of their produce, as well as use less water, which is a critical step when growing food in our climate. Technical assistants are trained annually.
Expenses $161,074 · Revenue $195,384
-
Community Education/Training: Provided bi-monthly workshops in the community and at our farm to create awareness and train others on soil microbes and how important they are to healing the soil, growing nutrient rich foods, restoring the natural water cycles and removing excess carbon from the atmosphere, Indigenous regenerative agriculture, microbiological composting trainings, food preservation, growing in a greenhouse, animal husbandry, etc. With extensive experience in both traditional Navajo growing practices as well as regenerative farming techniques, with the expertise required to assist growers, Covenant Pathways equips local indigenous growers start and expand their farms, sharing much of the 50+ tons of compost made annually on site. The organization also provides materials and hands on assistance to growers in several nearby communities. Visitors, native and non-native come to the farm to tour and experience the self-sufficiency of the farm.
Expenses $51,247 · Revenue $109,465
-
Bio Char Implementation - a program under Spirit Farm to make Biochar to be added to the compost. Biochar has potential to increase the biomass of plants, healing the soil through a natural process. This year the organization is preparing to receive the biochar machine that has the capability to not only make the biochar, but use the heat to warm water that is then piped underneath the soil in the greenhouse, warming the soil in order to extend the growing season.
Expenses $27,827 · Revenue $69,236

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.
