What Give N Kind does
Mission
Givenkind sources and efficiently redistributes excess goods in the economy to local nonprofit organizations to fill needs in our community. Nonprofits receive needed items that support their programs and diverting quality goods away from landfills reduces the environmental impact on all of us. Usable goods don't belong in landfills, especially when those goods fill a need in our community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Givenkind strengthens nonprofit programs by supplying essential donated goods that help remove everyday barriers to success. The organization rescues surplus, overstocked, out-of-season, and close-dated products from businesses across the united states and redistributes them to qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. By ensuring access to basic necessities, givenkind enables nonprofits to deliver more effective services and improve outcomes for the individuals and families they serve. In 2025, givenkind distributed 19.24 million in donated products to 307 nonprofit partners and fulfilled 3,535 resource requests. These goods supported a wide range of nonprofit programs, including education and job training, child care, counseling, healthcare, homelessness and hunger services, arts and culture, and animal welfare. Access to essential items such as clothing, food, personal care products, and household goodsallowed nonprofit partners to address immediate needs so participants could more fully engage in programming and move toward long-term stability. Givenkinds work also advances environmental sustainability by redirecting usable products away from landfills and into community…

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $22,816,489.
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 2024 to 2025, from $5.4M to $8.4M (+56%).
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 1% · 2024 2% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of GIVE N KIND’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $14k → $196k.
10 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 69% 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 GIVE N KIND’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 25 of 28 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
GIVE N KIND 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
69% 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 GIVE N KIND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 90% · 2021 38% · 2022 39% · 2023 28% — 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of GIVE N KIND's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
69% of GIVE N KIND'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, 93% of it comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $400k 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.
Against its field
GIVE N KIND has grown faster than three-quarters of the 144 public benefit nonprofits its size.
