As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Direct & Indirect Food Distribution: The Idaho Foodbank operates warehouse facilities in Meridian, Lewiston, and Pocatello, distributing donated and purchased food to a statewide network of over 400 Partner Agencies in all 44 Idaho counties. Partner Agencies include schools, churches, pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers, and supplemental food programs. For communities that lack a brick-and-mortar food pantry or special populations that require supplemental food support, The Idaho Foodbank conducts scheduled mobile pantry deliveries of fresh, dry and frozen food. The Idaho Foodbank distributed over 25.3 million pounds of food - providing food for up to 21 million meals - through partner agencies and its own direct-service programs throughout the state of Idaho. When food is purchased, volume buying power maximized the return on donor contributions to such a degree that one dollar can provide food for up to three meals. The Idaho Foodbank, through its Food Rescue program, captured and distributed to those in need over 8.7 million pounds of surplus food from growers, processors, and distribution to families. The work is largely done by volunteers. During the fiscal year 71,377…

The Idaho Foodbank also collaborates with health care professionals to ensure that these programs promote healthier families and more stable communities.

Over the past fiscal year, the team actively participated in 20 regional and local community health coalitions, attended or presented at 15 conferences and seminars, and hosted two regional partner conferences along with a partner open house. These activities helped deepen shared understanding of the critical link between hunger and health, engaging audiences that included Foodbank partner agencies, healthcare collaborators, university partners, social service providers, and community stakeholders. To increase access to essential non-food resources, the team distributed 187 quarterly resource boxes. These boxes contained 27 unique materials offering statewide information on housing, education, healthcare, economic well-being, home energy assistance, mental health services, supplemental nutrition programs, and care navigation 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. 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 $16M to $28M (+73%).
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 8% · 2018 7% · 2019 7% · 2020 7% · 2021 9% · 2022 11% · 2023 9% · 2024 10% · 2025 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of IDAHO FOODBANK WAREHOUSE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (96% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 47 funders to 77 funders, grant income rose $907k → $2.9M.
30 of 203 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
IDAHO FOODBANK WAREHOUSE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% 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
61% 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 IDAHO FOODBANK WAREHOUSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 23% · 2018 22% · 2019 17% · 2020 22% · 2021 20% · 2022 17% · 2023 25% — growing more concentrated.
“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
51% of IDAHO FOODBANK WAREHOUSE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 66% 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
IDAHO FOODBANK WAREHOUSE draws 55% of its grant income from funders outside Idaho, across 33 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 20 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.
