Mission
The Organization works to help struggling Rockland County, NY, residents through difficult times with dignity through its programs that provide monthly food packages, Thanksgiving meals, school supplies and holiday support.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Pantry: The Organization receives food and clothing from various donors for distribution from the Food Pantry to Rockland County residents who are living in need. Food is distributed five days a week, fifty-two weeks a year to an average of 1,545 low-income families each month. Food packages include fresh fruits and vegetable, meat and protein, dairy, bread and shelf stable items. Weekend food packages are also distributed to at-risk children who participate in free and subsidized school lunch programs so that they do not go hungry on the weekends.

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. 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 $1.3M to $1.9M (+42%).
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 1% · 2018 1% · 2019 2% · 2020 4% · 2021 3% · 2022 1% · 2023 3% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of HELP FROM PEOPLE TO PEOPLE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 20 funders, grant income rose $36k → $124k.
12 of 48 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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 HELP FROM PEOPLE TO PEOPLE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 48 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
HELP FROM PEOPLE TO PEOPLE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
70% 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 HELP FROM PEOPLE TO PEOPLE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 27% · 2018 27% · 2019 31% · 2020 24% · 2021 18% · 2022 16% · 2023 21% — 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
42% of HELP FROM PEOPLE TO PEOPLE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 73% 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
56% of HELP FROM PEOPLE TO PEOPLE 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 $350k that is directly attributable, 75% of it comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $452k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.

HELP FROM PEOPLE TO PEOPLE INC's revenue grew 24% between 2017 and 2024.
