What Soup Kitchen 411 Inc does
Mission
The Companys mission is to alleviate the pervasive problem of food in the U.S. by raising awareness and connecting those in need to soup kitchens and other collective spaces where they can be given meals.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2022, the world began to recover from the COVID pandemic. In the US there were some easing of lock-downs and restrictions on movement, jobs and community engagement. However, many people continued to struggle to earn income to pay for living expenses including food; consumer prices for food and fuel rose dramatically due in part to supply chain issues. The Company continued its program (FeedNJ) that addressed both hunger in NJ and the damaged food service industry in NJ. In addition, the Company was awarded a grant funded by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. The Company raised funds from individuals, businesses and charitable organizations as well as grants from foundations and governmental agencies to purchase prepared meals from local restaurants and had them delivered to local hunger relief organizations.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $320k to $7k (−98%).
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: 2020 0% · 2021 94% · 2022 95% · 2023 91% · 2024 28% · 2025 57%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
60% of Soup Kitchen 411 Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of Soup Kitchen 411 Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
Soup Kitchen 411 Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
52% 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 Soup Kitchen 411 Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 95% · 2020 70% · 2021 47% · 2022 43% · 2023 40% — 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
0% of Soup Kitchen 411 Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 41% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $110k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
