What Community Loaves does
Mission
Nurturing strong communities through the connection, training, and empowerment of home-based bakers to reduce hunger and promote wellness at local food pantries. Our vision, create a sustainable platform to support communities of home bakers throughout the United States, enabling them to convert their passion for baking into impactful nutritious, delicious donations for emergency feeding programs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In 2025 we did not incur expenses or receive revenue to support Community Kitchens. That effort was sidelined for 2025.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
We finished the year with 1119 registered volunteers supporting 60 community food banks in Washington, Oregon, Idaho & California. These volunteers donated over 120,000 hours of baking time, resulting in 44,772 loaves of bread, a 12% increase year over year, and 85,607 Grab 'N Go Energy Cookies, a 5% donation increase year-over-year. The organizational support needed to keep this program growing and thriving includes website development, ongoing outreach to both existing and potential bakers, to our food bank partners, onboarding efforts and quarterly coaching for our hub leadership in 68 neighborhood hubs, and supply management - securing, organizing, and delivering the flour and packaging supplies used by our volunteer bakers once a month. In September 2025, we launched a new onboarding process for our bakers, allowing them to attend a 100% virtual volunteer training. They no longer need to wait for a specific date/time combination that worked for them. The results have dramatically improved the number of volunteers who joined in 2025, and we anticipate further growth in 2026. We've continued to foster connection amongst our hub leaders who oversee the in-field effort of the…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $124k to $672k (+440%).
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.
65% of COMMUNITY LOAVES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% 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
2021 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $168k → $38k.
2 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 18% 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 COMMUNITY LOAVES’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
COMMUNITY LOAVES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 98% · 2022 92% · 2023 60% — 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.
Where its funders are
86% of COMMUNITY LOAVES's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $71k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
