Programs
Catalyzing Action: Across the nation, PHA collaborates with cross-sector partners (public, private, charitable) to advance equitable access to nutritious food for all in America to lead healthy lives. Our diverse programs include Good Food at Home that provides participating families with servings of fruits and vegetables delivered to their doorstep or through weekly produce boxes for a minimum of 12 weeks, creating a long-lasting habit of produce. Healthy Hunger Relief that recognizes, elevates, and accelerates the work of food banks across the country that are uplifting the health and well-being of their communities. Regional Food Systems Transformation, including in the Mississippi Delta, that focuses on community-driven change to increase the consumption of vegetables and fruits by building a greater local supply and increasing demand. And, Good Food Cities, which works as a collective impact model to increase access to and awareness of nutritious food through a variety of programming, community investments, and marketing efforts.

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 2020 to 2021, from $6.5M to $17M (+156%).
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: 2021 2% · 2022 5% · 2023 14% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
66% 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 Partnership for a Healthier America Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 51% · 2019 87% · 2020 67% · 2021 78% · 2022 81% · 2023 78% — 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
21% of Partnership for a Healthier America Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
61% of Partnership for a Healthier America 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 $8.7M that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 21 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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.
