Our Organization
San Diego Roots Sustainable Food Project is a California non-profit corporation and a 501(c)3 tax exempt educational charity. We are governed by our volunteer Board of Directors under the guidance of our community. Supporting Roots' work are members of our volunteer team who help run our programs and carry the responsibility of running a grassroots non-profit organization.
Our work is guided by an organizational model adopted by the Board on February 10, 2010. Click here or on the image to the the right to download a printable copy of the chart.
