What Harvest Against Hunger does
Mission
To help feed hungry people with surplus nutritious produce.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Our core work includes sourcing millions of pounds of truckload-sized donations of produce and arranging delivery via our transportation partners to hunger relief partners across washington as well as the general operating activities of the organization.
$4,062,566 spentof which $3,913,006 as grants73% of program spendingOur three farm to community (f2c) programs (farm to food pantry, king county farmers share and the growing for good partnership with pcc community markets and seattle neighborhood farmers markets) cultivate new partnerships to connect hunger relief organizations with small to mid-scale growers across washington. We provide technical support, ongoing management and funding to hunger relief organizations to purchase produce directly from local growers at wholesale (or lower) prices, which allows hunger relief organizations to focus on securing culturally relevant and nutrient dense produce that is otherwise difficult to provide and small to mid-scale growers to build their businesses. These relationships result in robust local farm economies, which ultimately strengthen communities - particularly rural and traditionally underserved communities.

We also provide refurbished computers to hunger relief partners that need additional technology resources.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $1.1M to $1.3M (+14%).
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: 2017 2% · 2021 14% · 2022 14% · 2023 17% · 2024 17% · 2025 22%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 30 funders, grant income rose $55k → $278k.
11 of 66 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $121k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Seattle Rotary Service Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money HARVEST AGAINST HUNGER raised.
From the IRS filings of HARVEST AGAINST HUNGER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 66 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
HARVEST AGAINST HUNGER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 13% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
58% 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 HARVEST AGAINST HUNGER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 64% · 2018 36% · 2019 38% · 2020 33% · 2021 53% · 2022 27% · 2023 13% — 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
38% of HARVEST AGAINST HUNGER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% 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
HARVEST AGAINST HUNGER draws 60% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 17 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $706k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
