What Bounty & Soul does
Mission
Together we connect, share, and celebrate nutritious food, education and community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Due to the food and services demand resulting from the devastation caused by tropical storm Helene, Bounty & Soul purchased & distributed household appliances & goods, in addition to purchasing large quantities of food for distribution. These additional purchases were requested and funded by new individual & corporate donors, foundation, & grants.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Produce to the People: In 2024, 1,604,616 pounds of fresh produce and nutritious food was distributed to approximately 158,970 participants through 7 weekly community markets, and our food box delivery service. We experienced a 167% increase in participation in our services, as a result of the impacts of Hurricane Helene and pre-existing socio-economic factors like housing costs, inflation and low wages, contributing to the increase in food insecurity. We continued to see growth in our home delivery program, providing healthy food for 5,420 households that were affected by transportation and health barriers. With the purchase of a 10,000 square foot warehouse in July, and an increase in space capacity and infrastructure, we were able to meet the dramatic increase in need for our services. Due to the destruction of MANNA Food Bank from Hurricane Helene, there was a significant reduction of donated food available during the last quarter of the year. This resulted in a need for dramatically increasing food purchasing for Bounty & Soul in order to bridge the gap and continue to feed the community.

We invested in the local food economy by purchasing Grade A and B produce from small to mid-size farmers and growers, as well as providing on-farm service-learning experiences for adults and children. In 2024, we collaborated with 75 farm partners and distributed over 400,997 pounds of locally grown and sourced food through our community markets and home-delivery program. We also shared 14,400 plant starts with our participants and farm partners, as well as provided gardening education and resources.
Rooted in Health: This evidence-based, whole person health education program for adults and children includes weekly classes, cooking demos, recipes, nutrition information, resources, and nutrition counseling. We delivered 302 yoga, exercise, and health & wellness classes, as well as organized 60 after-school sports and education events. We conducted 110 live cooking demonstrations and shared over 30,000 samples at the community markets. Over 50,000 printed recipes and education materials were also shared at our markets, including 5,310 kids activities. In addition, 32 dietitian counseling sessions were administered. In the months that followed Hurricane Helene, we focused our efforts on delivering trauma, stress and emergency response support programming. Rooted in Health Kids - AKA Green Aprons: This innovative program for youth builds healthy nutrition habits, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and offers fun social connections with other children and families. In 2024 we distributed fresh produce and other healthy foods to 4,872 children and their families each month. We conducted 5,310 kids activities at our markets focused on healthy eating, cooking, mindfulness, physical activity,…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2023 to 2024, from $1.6M to $4.1M (+159%).
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 0% · 2022 9% · 2023 5% · 2024 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of Bounty & Soul’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 24 funders, grant income rose $90k → $807k.
18 of 72 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 Bounty & Soul’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 72 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
Bounty & Soul has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
54% 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 Bounty & Soul.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 71% · 2019 51% · 2020 26% · 2021 39% · 2022 51% · 2023 22% — 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
39% of Bounty & Soul's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% 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
80% of Bounty & Soul's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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.
