Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- Plant to Plate seeks to address structural inequalities embedded in low-income areas of Richmond and San Pablo by preparing students for the transition into adulthood. Interns learn how to grow food using sustainable, regenerative practices, and how to plan and prepare healthy meals for themselves and others. Our in-depth and holistic approach nurtures the social, emotional, and physical wellness of each intern.As an integral part of the Plant to Plate program, chefs from Anaviv Catering, local culinary experts, master gardeners, and community members voluntarily share their professional wisdom and life experiences. Interns are mentored by these volunteers, who function as a diverse professional network that Plant to Plate graduates can call upon as they move from the program into further professional and educational settings.
