Programs
The bbhh food pantry helps serve approximately 500 families each week through four grocery store-style food pantry locations. Each visit provides families with access to nutritious food while also connecting them to additional opportunities such as educational programs, preventative health care, and other supportive resources. This work is made possible by a dedicated team of 15 full-time and 2 part-time staff members who operate these grocery stores, along with the faithful support of more than 9,000 volunteers. Together, they helped provide 3.6 million meals-representing 4.3 million pounds of food-and supported approximately 46,000 visits to bbhh grocery stores and food pantries. Through this ministry, bbhh seeks not only to meet immediate needs, but also to build relationships, promote dignity, and help families take meaningful steps toward long-term stability.

The clinic is staffed by a nurse practitioner, a clinic director, a clinic manager, two clinic coordinators, two medical assistants, a produce prescription coordinator, three doctors, and various medical volunteers.

In addition to medical care, bbhh provides counseling services, diabetes education, free mammograms, flu shots, nutritional training, and other supportive health resources designed to care for the whole person.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $4.7M to $5.8M (+25%).
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 11% · 2022 30% · 2023 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 44 funders, grant income rose $194k → $2.2M.
15 of 77 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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 BROTHER BILLS HELPING HAND’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 77 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
BROTHER BILLS HELPING HAND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 62%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
88% 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 BROTHER BILLS HELPING HAND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 67% · 2019 48% · 2020 30% · 2021 32% · 2022 70% · 2023 56% — 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
53% of BROTHER BILLS HELPING HAND's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
96% of BROTHER BILLS HELPING HAND's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
