1 2016 ANNUAL REPORT growing a healthier community... one garden at a time! Our Mission Grow a healthier community through the support and development of school and community garden programs that promote health and wellness, environmental stewardship and a sustainable local food system. Our Vision A thriving healthy community, where people are connected to their land, their food and each other through gardens.
2 A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR... Dear Friend, 2016 has been an incredible year of transformation at The Garden Project and I want to thank you for being part of our success! We started the Manna Market with our partners, a free weekly produce stand for foodinsecure families, and distributed thousands of pounds of locally grown produce to grateful families. You can help in 2017, by growing an extra row in your garden, or volunteering at the market! Our school garden programs reached a new level this year by closely partnering with Durango School District 9 R. Although not every school has a school garden, we believe every student deserves to learn about healthy nutrition and natural science through the lens of gardening. The Ohana Kuleana Community Garden successfully completed its 4th season with over 75 community garden members and 400 elementary school students growing food. Our free public workshop series reached more community members than ever before with hands on education. We are excited to expand our impact in 2017 by developing a model to better support more school and community gardens across La Plata County. Stay tuned for updates and ways to engage! During times of uncertainty in the world, we turn towards our local community for support and inspiration, believing that TOGETHER we can grow a healthier and more compassionate community. I am filled with gratitude for all of our partners, sponsors, donors and volunteers. Your belief in this powerful work uplifts us every single day! Thank you for your continued support, Sandhya Tillotson Executive Director

7 2016 FINANCIAL REPORT Where does our $ come from? The Garden Project's annual budget has steadily grown since 2013 ($35,000) due our staff and board's commitment to diversifying our funding streams to be more resilient in today's financial climate. As an organization we want to GROW SMARTER rather than simply grow for growth's sake. We are constantly aware of large number of other nonprofits in our community, and the reality of limited resources. This is why we PARTNER and COLLABORATE on every program we offer. The Garden Project receives no recurring government funding or tax allocation. We must compete annually for any government grants that we receive. Pat Senecal (Director of Celebrating Healthy Communities) presenting Sandhya and The Garden Project with the "Collaboration of the Year Award"
8 2016 FINANCIAL REPORT How our $ is spent Our impact in the community has grown significantly to support more robust school and community garden programs, that reach folks of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels. Nonprofits have traditionally reported administrative and program expenses separately in financial statements. New shifts in thinking are acknowledging the necessary administrative functions that allow nonprofits to successfully carry out their mission and programs. One way to acknowledge the necessity of administrative funtions is calling them what they are: Core Mission Support. This graph reflects this shift by appropriately dividing our Core Mission Support between our major programs. Core Mission Support means: Strong, strategic finance and accounting Dynamic fundraising & partner development Capable, responsive board governance Talented and engaged staff Read more about re visioning nonprofit overhead here: re visioning nonprofit overhead/
