What Feed the Kids Columbus Inc does
Mission
Feed The Kids Columbus strives to ensure food insecure children in Central Ohio have access to nutritious meals and snacks so they are able to learn and grow. There are as many as 12 million children in the United States who are at risk of hunger. Throughout Ohio, it is estimated that 1 in 5 children struggle with food insecurity. The consequences of hunger are much more than a growling stomach. Poor nutrition can result in a weaker immune system, increased hospitalization, lower IQ, shorter attention spans and lower academic achievement. Many food insecure children are provided meals during school hours through Federal Child Nutrition Programs. FTKC strives to ensure food insecure children in central Ohio can get nutritious meals over extended school breaks and snacks throughout the school year. Our work supplements nutritional needs when government programs are not easily accessible nor available.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Feed the Kids Columbus (FTKC) provides nutritional meals and snacks over extended school breaks to fill the gap when they are not in school and don't have access to the food they normally receive at school from Federal Child Nutrition Programs. FTKC also provides snacks for children who experience food insecurity. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, FTKC worked with 29 schools and 3 community centers, serving over 8,000 children.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2024 to 2025, from $522k to $1.1M (+117%).
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: 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 4% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of FEED THE KIDS COLUMBUS INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $23k → $56k.
9 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% 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 FEED THE KIDS COLUMBUS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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 KIDS COLUMBUS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 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 KIDS COLUMBUS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 88% · 2022 31% · 2023 22% — 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.
Where its funders are
53% of FEED THE KIDS COLUMBUS INC'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 $176k that is directly attributable, 94% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $198k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
