Mission

THE DIGGER FOODS, INC.'S MISSION IS TO MAKE LOCAL, ORGANIC, AND SEASONAL FOOD AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE IN THE LOCAL AREA. IN SEPTEMBER 2022, THE ORGANIZATION LAUNCHED A LOCAL FOOD DELIVERY PROGRAM IN AND AROUND BROCKTON. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE FOOD-INSECURE PEOPLE WITH THE BEST FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FROM NEARBY FARMS, ALL AT DISCOUNTED PRICES. THIS WAY, EVERYONE CAN EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF COOKING AND EATING LOCALLY.

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
