What Sam Hubbard Foundation does
Mission
The Sam Hubbard Foundation exists to bring equitable access to food, education, and a healthy lifestyle for all Cincinnatians.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
In 2024, we again expanded our Hubbard's Cupboards program from servicing 13 schools in the spring to servicing 21 schools in the Greater Cincinnati area for the fall term beginning the school year 2024-2025.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Hubbard's Cupboard - A partnership between Crayons to Computers and the Sam Hubbard Foundation, Hubbard's Cupboards allows underserved students to access the supplies and healthy snacks they need "just in time." If a student's backpack rips in the middle of the school year or a child needs a healthy snack to carry them from lunch to soccer practice, the Cupboard makes it easy for that student to be successful without worry. Each Cupboard is consistently stocked through the year with core school supplies, hygiene products, and healthy snacks. Hubbard's Cupboards directly benefits teachers and their students in need.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2023 to 2024, from $337k to $758k (+125%).
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.
105% of Sam Hubbard Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $10k → $58k.
7 of 32 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 Sam Hubbard Foundation’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 32 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
Sam Hubbard Foundation has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 9% 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
46% 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 Sam Hubbard Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 73% — 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.
Where its funders are
70% of Sam Hubbard Foundation's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $120k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
