Programs
Public Education: In 2025, the Alliance grew to 108 members while maintaining its longstanding 97% retention rate. The Alliance continues to play a meaningful role in shaping policy through education and advocacy, bringing together key leaders in the food security space across nonprofits, corporations, universities, multilateral agencies, and individual advocates.(Continued on Schedule O)Through its member-led Advocacy Committee, the Alliance advanced anti-hunger priorities in key pieces of legislation while also raising public awareness of the goal to end hunger through coalitions, social media, and speaking engagements. Alliance members met with stakeholders across Congress and the Administration to advocate for fully funding WIC, protecting SNAP and other Farm Bill programs, and increasing both funding and flexibility for global food assistance. The Alliance also helped navigate transitions of critical international food programs across government agencies, ensuring continuity during periods of change.

This network includes a diverse array of coalitions that are all working to address hunger and implement effective solutions tailored to the unique needs of their communities. The Alliance provides opportunities to collaborate and bridge partnerships to form a community of practice through programmatic elements such as an annual virtual Summit, in-person regional conferences throughout the country, grant opportunities, quarterly meetings, plus trainings and technical assistance.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.8M to $6.0M (+230%).
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: 2017 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Alliance to End Hunger’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $753k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
