What Feed the Front Line does
Mission
During the covid-19 pandemic, Feed the Front Line quickly raised funds to provide restaurant meals to frontline workers(healthcare and first responders)as well as for food-insecure populations, while at the sametime provides revenue for struggling restaurants and their employees. The organization provided meals for over 100,000 individuals in less than nine months in houston, dallas, chicago, nashville, charlotte, and kentucky
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.
Program
Our chapters in houston, dallas, chicago, nashville, and charlotte worked round the clock to buy food from local restaurants to keep their doors from closing and serving meals to vulnerable communities affected by covid-19.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

From the IRS filings of FEED THE FRONT LINE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 15 of 16 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 FRONT LINE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
60% 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 FRONT LINE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 37% · 2021 96% — 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.
Where its funders are
FEED THE FRONT LINE draws 69% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k 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.
