What City of Good Inc does
Mission
City of Good is building a sustainable food system through economic support to farmers and radical access to fresh, local food for all of our neighbors. The organization provides nutritious, locally sourced meals and food education through collaborative partnerships throughout the Treasure Valley.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
City of Good began a partnership with the Boise Farmers Market to run the Mobile Market and ensure access to free and reduced price produce for all shoppers in 2024.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Through its programs, City of Good distributed more than 45,000 pounds of food and nearly 38,000 meals in 2024. The organizations partnerships with farmers, restaurants, and community organizations created sustainable pathways for local food access and equitable nourishment for all residents while offering economic support for local farm businesses.
$653,381 spent100% of program spendingCity of Good provided 18,786 meals through its Fuel Kits initiative, including 12,294 Weekend Fuel Kits for children and medically fragile adults and 6,492 Senior Fuel Kits. These kits supplied consistent, nutritious food for individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. These kits were distributed in partnership with Interfaith Sanctuary, the Veterans Administration, Southwest Idaho Area Agency on Aging, and other organizations.
The Food Pantry Project distributed over 45,000 pounds of fresh produce and $22,968 in diverse shelf-stable goods to partner pantries and community sites. City of Good recovered 41,612 pounds of surplus produce from local markets and redirected food from wholesale and donation sources to reduce waste and increase access to nutritious foods. Partner pantries include Boise School District Community Schools, Boise State University, the Veterans Administration, Marsing Community School, College of Idaho, and many others.
The Mobile Market, a partnership with the Boise Farmers Market, provided affordable and accessible farmers market shopping with 403 community stops, serving 2,469 visitors and enrolling 756 new customers. The market expanded access to affordable, locally grown produce and dairy, and supported food benefit programs, including 54 EBT transactions, in neighborhoods with limited access to grocery stores.
City of Good partnered with Charlies Produce, Shamrock Foods, and other distributors to recover and redistribute more than 1,800 pounds of mixed and fresh foods. These collaborations supported regional food recovery, reduced waste, and strengthened the local food economy.
The Counter is City of Goods locally-sourced cafe serving Idaho burgers and fries within the Shrine Social Club, a beloved music venue hosting concerts throughout the year as well as the annual Treefort Music Festival. This venture provided earned revenue for both City of Good and our farm partners. It also provided a commercial kitchen for the production, packaging, and distribution of fuel kits; a home base for the Mobile Market; a storage and processing site for surplus produce to be distributed to pantries; and an educational hub for customers and community members with information about sustainable food systems, local sourcing, and volunteer opportunities shared through signage, printed material, staff representation, and information sessions.
The 6 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $653,381.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $162k to $50k (−69%).
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: 2024 49%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of City of Good Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income fell $178k → $81k.
5 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 City of Good Inc’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
City of Good Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% 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
44% 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 City of Good Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 84% · 2021 49% · 2022 52% · 2023 32% — 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
0% of City of Good Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 48% 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
City of Good Inc draws 54% of its grant income from funders outside Idaho, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $225k 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.
