What Gleaning Network of Texas does
Mission
The Gleaning Network of Texas dba GROW North Texas connects North Texans to food, farms, and community to create a sustainable, secure regional food system that enriches the land, encourages economic opportunity through food and agriculture, and provides equitable access to healthy, nutritious food for all residents.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2023 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In September of 2023, we closed Market Provisions as a separate program of the organization, as this program was no longer meeting the goals of the organization. Any remaining work of this program is being fazed into Owenwood Farm in 2024.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Market Provisions Co provides an opportunity for small-scale, local food businesses and agriculture producers to sell their products all week long at the Dallas Farmers Market, reaching a broader customer base and growing their businesses. The organization decided this year that Market Provisions was no longer a viable program that was meeting the organizational goals for supporting local food. This change in program success was largely due to changes in the Dallas Farmers Market that caused a change in the customer base. We decided we could be more successful in adapting to a different approach to meet goals.
$217,473 spent$145,169 earned by the program26% of program spendingGNTX Giving Grove installs community fruit tree orchards in collaboration with community organizations who steward the orchards, donating at least 50% of production back to the community. Each year since 2022, GNTX Giving Grove has installed 15-20 orchards in partnership with community organizations such as schools, community centers, and churches. The average orchard is 15 trees. When productive these orchards collectively will provide thousands of pounds of fresh fruit to communities with low access fresh produce. The trees also add to the overall tree canopy and beautification of these locations.

Through webinars, workshops, and technical assistance, Farm Success supports the development of 150 farmers annually in the north Texas area.

$187,124 spent$408,305 earned by the program22% of program spendingOwenwood Farm is a 1 acre urban farm that grows produce for food access projects as well as trains farmers and gardeners. It is part of the Owenwood Farm & Neighbor Space collaborative. Owenwood Farm successfully grows $15,000-$20,000 worth of produce each and continues to expand. The farm also hosts a 40 tree demonstration orchard for GNTX Giving Grove. This orchard is always open to the public. The Owenwood Community Garden hosts 10-15 local residents who grow their own food and also provides teaching space for after school programs. GROW North Texas provides support for all of these activities. Fresh Stop Farm Stands facilitates the WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program in collaboration with local farmers to provide fresh produce to families with WIC benefits. Working with other local farms and the Dallas WIC program, Fresh Stop serves an average of 1300 families with over $35,000 in produce. In 2023, Fresh Stop also served as the program umbrella for a special project to increase promotion of SNAP (formerly food stamps) at farmers markets.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2019 to 2020, from $77k to $313k (+306%).
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: 2019 50% · 2020 14% · 2021 25% · 2022 46% · 2023 66% · 2024 75%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
87% of GLEANING NETWORK OF TEXAS’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $10k → $165k.
5 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 33% 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 GLEANING NETWORK OF TEXAS’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
GLEANING NETWORK OF TEXAS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 62%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
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 GLEANING NETWORK OF TEXAS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 75% · 2018 100% · 2019 68% · 2020 43% · 2021 45% · 2022 69% · 2023 68% — 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
33% of GLEANING NETWORK OF TEXAS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% 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
GLEANING NETWORK OF TEXAS draws 75% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $184k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
