Mission

New York Sustainable Agricultural Working Group (NYSAWG) is a not-for-profit organization located in western New York to raise awareness of issues affecting the sustainability of the food and agriculture system. The Organizations mission is pursued through fostering coalitions of groups and individuals working to realizea shared vision; creating and supporting projects that help sustain New York farms and strive to attain food security for all; and, promoting and supporting policies at the local, state and national levels that increase the sustainability of the food and agriculture system.

  • Expansion of food policy network and execution of scope of work outlined in the WESTERN NEW YORK REGIONAL FOOD SYSTEM INITIATIVE. The food system of western New York demands understanding and targeted recommendations to make it more equitable. To meet this challenge, a funders collaborative called Moving Forward Together (MFT) launched the Western New York Regional Food System Initiative (WNYRFSI) in January 2021. The project sought to improve the viability, resilience, and wealth-creating opportunities via a strong food system for communities throughout the nine-county region (Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Monroe, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming counties), in rural and urban communities alike.

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.

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.
