01What it does

What Food for Soul Inc does

Mission

Food for soul, inc. Helps to create inclusive and beautiful community kitchens in which not only our guests, people in need and in vulnerable conditions, can feel welcomed and inspired - our refettorios are spaces for everyone, because the doors are always open. Chefs are invited to transform surplus food, otherwise wasted, into nutritious and healthy meals. Their creativity and expertise are essential to turn discarded or ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary. Volunteers are invited to serve guests at the table, to call them by their names, to create human contacts. Designers and artists turn neglected spaces into inspiring hubs full of art, design and beauty.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

79% 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 FOOD FOR SOUL INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $552k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
