Raw Inspiration's mission is to educate children and adults on the importance of a healthy diet, especially on the importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables daily. This is in conjunction with a good exercise regime as well. To this end, Raw Inspiration was established to be a publicly supported, not-for-profit organization that provides grants and awards to schools for the purposes of installing organic gardens and orchards on the schools premises.With the successful implementation of this primary mission, we have experienced an overwhelming interest in our program with parents of the school children and the residents in the neighboring vicinities of the schools. With the communities growing interest in our mission, the challenge was to implement our programs not only inside the schools but also in the neighborhoods surrounding the schools. Beginning in 2006, we implemented a program of distributing fruit trees and vegetables plants and seeds free of charge to any individual or

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
97¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
