Programs
Food Access (Produce Rx): DC Greens' award-winning produce prescription program, Produce Rx, allows medical professionals to prescribe fresh fruits and vegetables to DC Medicaid-enrolled patients who are experiencing a diet-related chronic illness. Program participants receive monthly funds using a preloaded produce prescription card for one full year, which they can use to shop at participating grocery retailers. Produce Rx is part of DC Greens' work in Food Is Medicine, which aims to increase access to critical nutrition programs through D.C.'s health care system.

Complete with 20,000 square feet of farming space dedicated to seasonal crop production, large community convening spaces, and an outdoor classroom, The Well at Oxon Run welcomes all community members to work in the soil, celebrate, and share experiences together.

It's the most powerful vehicle we have for driving change and improving the health and lives of the people of D.C. That's why our Community Engagement team creates feedback channels from the community to DC Greens about the work we're doing. It also helps us ensure that community voice remains central as we begin to imagine the work we may do in the future. In 2024, DC Greens launched Community Leadership Initiative (CLI), a leadership development program. Through CLI, community members with lived expertise are hired for positions at a variety of levels within the organization to contribute to the work and provide meaningful input in key areas, such as program development, strategic planning, partnerships, and community outreach.

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. 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 $2.2M to $902k (−58%).
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: 2017 48% · 2018 50% · 2019 40% · 2020 38% · 2021 34% · 2022 27% · 2023 35% · 2024 29%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of DC Greens Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (60% for the typical peer).

15 of 83 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 DC Greens Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 83 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
DC Greens Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 61%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
25% 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 DC Greens Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 77% · 2019 65% · 2020 44% · 2021 39% · 2022 22% · 2023 39% — 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 DC Greens Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% 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
65% of DC Greens Inc's grant income comes from Washington, D.C. funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
Against its field
DC Greens Inc's funding base is broadening — from 10 funders to 27 as grant income climbed.
