What Feed the Future does
Mission
The organization was formed in response to the tremendous impact the global pandemic covid-19 has had on the restaurant and food supply chain industries, with the goal of providing financial relief to individuals and small businesses within those industries that have been negatively impacted as a result of the pandemic. Specifically, the organization was formed to help struggling farms in west marin, ca and the current and former employees of san francisco-area restaurants, cotogna, verjus, and quince, who have been laid-off, furloughed, or otherwise financially impacted by the covid-19 pandemic, or who may be otherwise impacted by a future pandemic or other natural disaster.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Grants to farms and other organizations: in furtherance of its charitable purposes, the organization intends to award grants to struggling farms in the west marin-area of northern california. An integral part of the food supply chain, many local farms have been financially devastated by the fallout from the covid-19 pandemic, and the organization seeks to provide much needed financial assistance to keep such farms afloat. Local farms seeking aid from the organization will be required to submit a grant application. Local farms that have received government assistance, such as loans or other grants under the cares act, will not be eligible to receive a grant from the organization. In addition, the organization may also award grants to other organizations that support local farms and food supply chain workers, including, but not limited to, those exempt from federal income tax under section 501c3 of the code. Such grants may be unrestricted general support grants, or they may be targeted to help fund a specific program or project of the grantee. In all cases, the use of grant funds will be limited to charitable, educational, scientific, or literary purposes. In the case of grants to…

In order to receive a grant, a potential grant recipient will be rquired to complete an application and submit information regarding the applicant's employment and financial situation, sufficient to allow the organization to objectively assess the applicant's need. Each application will be reviewed and evaluated by an independent third party human resources firm: vine solutions. Vine solutions will then select grant recipients and award grants based on need and the organization's available funds. Grants from the organization are intended to provide temporary or emergency financial assistance to help eligible recipients overcome financial hardships caused by loss of income due to the covid-19 pandemic. As such, absent clearly documented extenuating circumstances, individuals eligilble to receive unemployment benefits will not be eligible to receive a grant from the organization. Individual grants will not exceed $1,500 per individual or $2,000 per family. After disbursing a grant, the organization may periodically…

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 $166k to $149k (−10%).
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.
100% of FEED THE FUTURE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
