What Spot-Canandaigua Inc does
Mission
The Spots mission is to provide free school supplies clothing food and shoes to students in grades UPK-12 in the Canandaigua and Victor school districts. We have a number of program elements to serve students and their families: In-School Resource Rooms Back-to-School Supply Event Snack Program and In-School Food Pantry Concert Loaner Closet and Laundry Support.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The FEEDING PROGRAM encompasses both a school-based food pantry and daily classroom snack support. Many families in the Canandaigua and Victor School Districts fall within the ALICE population and these programs help bridge the gap for families facing food insecurity. While exact monthly registration varies this program served an average of 75 families per month with distribution of food bags and served over 900 snacks to students each month.
$25,000 spent52% of program spendingWithin each school building the Spot supports students with RESOURCE ROOMS where children may request items to meet specific needs. They may pick out a replacement pencil borrow a pair of snow pants acquire toiletries or request a pair of sneakers or necessary clothing items. These rooms allow teachers to support students by meeting immediate needs that hinder their ability to succeed in the classroom.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $53k to $117k (+120%).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $11k → $36k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

SPOT-CANANDAIGUA INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
70% 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 SPOT-CANANDAIGUA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7k 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.
