What After the Harvest does
Mission
After the Harvest (ATH) rescues nutritious fruits and vegetables from going to waste and donates them to agencies that serve hungry people, primarily in greater Kansas City. Our volunteers glean After the Harvest, picking what's left in farmer's fields and picking up already harvested leftover produce at farmer's markets, farm stands and produce distributions hubs in our region. Harvesters-The Community Food Network is our largest produce distribution partner, and ATH is Harvesters' largest local produce donor.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.

Key accomplishments include rescuing millions of pounds of fresh produce, providing millions of meals, and reducing carbon emissions by keeping food out of landfills. Rescued and redistributed produced. The organization's main work was gleaning, or picking, leftover produce from fields, and collecting surplus from farmers' markets and other sources.

Provided a significant number of meals: Since 2014, the organization rescued over 32 million pounds of produce, which translated to providing 26 million meals. Reduced environmental impact: By diverting produce from landfills, the effort helped reduce methane emissions, equivalent to taking hundreds of cars off the road for a year. Transitioned its mission: At the end of 2024, After the Harvest officially dissolved, and its mission is now being…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 1% · 2021 2% · 2023 1% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 26 funders, grant income rose $288k → $323k.
6 of 50 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 14% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of AFTER THE HARVEST’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 50 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
AFTER THE HARVEST has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
57% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund AFTER THE HARVEST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 62% · 2019 53% · 2020 30% · 2021 30% · 2022 23% · 2023 23% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
66% of AFTER THE HARVEST's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
66% of AFTER THE HARVEST's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $496k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
