Programs
At Edmonds Food Bank, the volunteers and staff continued to engage with our customers as we provided food, household supplies, personal products, and referrals to partner organizations for additional support. Due to ongoing economic issues, household use of efb remains high. We offer in-person shopping for those with special dietary needs, in addition to our online, drive-up, and delivery services. We continue our delivery services to support households of seniors or persons with disabilities each week. Our online ordering system gives customers the right to choose the foods they need and want each week. Many of our customers appreciate the service as it enables them to receive their food efficiently and friendly, thus freeing up time for other activities. We have continued our pop-up pantries throughout the community, including partnerships with latino educational training institute (leti), st. Albans church, college place schools, washington west african center, and the korean community services center, providing support to increasing numbers of customers who cannot access the food bank due the restricted hours allowed at our current location. In addition, we added support for…
$3,604,978 spentof which $2,350,747 as grants99% of program spendingThe edmonds toy shop had a successful year under the Edmonds Food Bank's umbrella, supporting our community's children during the winter holiday season. 908 children received gift support during the holiday season. This was over a 23% increase from the prior year. In june, over 100 households received support through our bikes, books, and berries program. This program included a bike distribution equal to last year's volume, along with opportunities for all attendees to select free books, sign up for library cards, receive a selection of berries, and access services from washington kids and the edmonds human services manager. The bike distribution part of the program will sunset after this year due to high demand exceeding the number of individuals who can be serviced. We have redirected request to other nonprofit organizatons such as holy spokes and shoreline tool library, who provide bikes years round.

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 2020 to 2021, from $1.0M to $1.9M (+89%).
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: 2023 2% · 2024 24% · 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of EDMONDS FOOD BANK’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 15 funders to 19 funders, grant income rose $108k → $134k.
13 of 42 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% 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 EDMONDS FOOD BANK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 42 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
EDMONDS FOOD BANK has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
72% 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 EDMONDS FOOD BANK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 22% · 2021 31% · 2022 22% · 2023 20% — 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.
How long its funders stay
64% of EDMONDS FOOD BANK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
59% of EDMONDS FOOD BANK'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 $461k that is directly attributable, 52% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $670k 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.
