Programs
1. The live show experienceover the past four and a half years, the Breaking Bread Village successfully hosted the live show experience across the great lakes bay region, engaging hundreds of community members in authentic, courageous conversations. Each stop on the tour centered around timely and sometimes difficult topicsranging from racism and cancel culture to child advocacy and compassion. By featuring diverse guest speakers and promoting open dialogue, the live shows have helped foster deeper understanding and community connection. Attendees consistently shared that the experience left them feeling heard, seen, and inspired to build bridges within their own circles. The live shows have become a cornerstone of our work and a catalyst for meaningful change throughout the region.
$0 spent2. Sharing our storiesour sharing our stories initiative created space for smaller, more intimate gatherings, allowing residents to engage in honest, heartfelt storytelling. This program has been especially impactful in midland and bay counties, where community members expressed a strong need for spaces that prioritize empathy, healing, and connection. Through facilitated conversations, participants shared personal experiences that helped break down barriers and fostered empathy across different backgrounds and lived experiences. The success of the program has led to expansion efforts, including a planned growth into more underserved communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $50k to $6k (−88%).
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.
51% of BREAKING BREAD VILLAGE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 BREAKING BREAD VILLAGE’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
BREAKING BREAD VILLAGE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 BREAKING BREAD VILLAGE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
100% of BREAKING BREAD VILLAGE'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 $500 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Michigan funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $115k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
