What Ampleharvestorg Inc does
Mission
Ampleharvest.org inc. Envisions an america where millions of gardeners eliminate wasted food, malnutrition and hunger in their own community. Ampleharvest.org inc. Works to diminish the waste of food and therefore hunger in america by using education and technology to enable home and community gardeners to share their excess harvests with a nearby food pantry instead of letting it go to waste.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
During the year, ampleharvest.org inc. Has continued to utilize the internet to enable 62 million americans who grow food in home/community gardens to easily donate their excess harvest to one of 7,999 registered local food pantries spread across all 50 states. These food pantries help nourish the one out of six americans (including a quarter of all kids under six) that rely on these pantries. Ampleharvest.org inc.'s two tiered approach is to both educate and encourage owners to donate the food (I.e. And ignore the "jars, cans, boxes" restriction of the past) while making america's food pantries/soup kitchens "visible" to the growers for the first time by enabling them to register in ampleharvest.org inc.'s online registry. Once the grower who has an overly abundant harvest learns that they can donate the food and once they then locate a nearby food pantry on ampleharvest.org inc., a connection is made and they donate the food themselves on a date/time that is requested by the pantry. The just-in-time logic in the program eliminates the need for the pantry to refrigerate or store the food, and it is typically taken home by the food pantry clients within hours of being harvested.…

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 $224k to $511k (+129%).
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: 2021 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of AMPLEHARVESTORG INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $38k → $107k.
7 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% 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 AMPLEHARVESTORG INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 22 of 28 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
AMPLEHARVESTORG INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 28% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
85% 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 AMPLEHARVESTORG INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 45% · 2019 81% · 2020 33% · 2021 34% · 2022 49% · 2023 34% — 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
31% of AMPLEHARVESTORG INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 32% 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
53% of AMPLEHARVESTORG INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $319k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 12 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $353k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
