What Meals on Wheels Cleveland West does
Mission
Meals on Wheels Cleveland West serves residents in cleveland's far west suburbs. Our mission is to furnish nutritious meals, combat social isolation and address safety concerns for our neighbors, while providing peace of mind for families of the convalescing, disabled and elderly, who are unable to cook for themselves. By caring for our neighbors, we are creating a stronger and more vibrant community, where more of our neighbors can remain in their home and out of expensive nursing home or hospital care. We are an irs certified 501(c)(3) community service non-profit organization, that is not government subsidized. We are funded through reasonable meal service fees, and with 100% community support.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The organization provides two mid-day meals (one hot and one cold) to our community's homebound at an affordable rate. We also provide social contact and well checks to the homebound often times being their only contact. We help to combat isolation and ensure that the homebound in our community have the nutrition and social contact they need to thrive.

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 2022 to 2023, from $232k to $340k (+46%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
53% 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 MEALS ON WHEELS CLEVELAND WEST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2020 98% · 2021 98% · 2022 43% · 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
