What Feed the Children Inc does
Mission
We are a global movement working to end child hunger in the u.s. And around the world. Together with communities, we provide food, essentials, and opportunities so every child can survive and thrive.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Food and essentials procurement/distribution: in the united states, feed the children procures donated food and essential household and personal care items to distribute to families with children who experience hunger and hardship. With these resources, we help families meet their immediate needs and reduce their household expenses so they can afford more food. Our holistic efforts include product sourcing, supply chain, logistics, and delivery services. In fy2025, we collaborated with over 500 community partners to distribute food and essentials to children and families in over 40 states. Through five strategically located distribution centers and in partnership with our wholly owned subsidiary ftc transportation, we strive to serve people and communities disproportionally impacted by child hunger.

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 2020 to 2021, from $149M to $213M (+43%).
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 1% · 2018 2% · 2019 1% · 2020 1% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 1% · 2024 2% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of FEED THE CHILDREN INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 113 funders to 194 funders, grant income rose $1.8M → $5.2M.
54 of 618 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 41% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1k from one payer (the payer's own filing calls it a related party, largest Amin Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money FEED THE CHILDREN INC raised.
From the IRS filings of FEED THE CHILDREN INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 618 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
FEED THE CHILDREN INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
71% 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 FEED THE CHILDREN INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 22% · 2018 18% · 2019 18% · 2020 15% · 2021 24% · 2022 16% · 2023 29% — growing more concentrated.
“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
37% of FEED THE CHILDREN INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
FEED THE CHILDREN INC draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Oklahoma, across 44 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $14M arriving through sponsors registered in 29 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.
