This case illustrate a small nonprofit organization labelled The Backyard Crop (BYH). The focus of BYH was to gather extra produce from individuals and small farmers and make the produce accessible to local food banks. Amy Grey had started BYH as a plan of a local environmental nonprofit but had recently created a separate and independent BYH organization. Because of recent national press on the organization, Amy had received several requests for help from some of folks around the country interested in setting up their own variant of the BYH.
Amy's dilemma was how to persist to provide the needs of her local society and facilitate other individuals around the country set up equivalent organizations. Amy speculated if she should take BYH national, and if so, when and the way to do it.
