What Table For Two USA does
Mission
The organizations mission is to address the global food imbalance and other health issues related to unhealthy eating. Table for Two USA was formed to address dual social concerns of hunger in developing countries and obesity in developed countries by contributing meals to developing countries when people in developed countries choose healthy meals at participating donor organizations, thereby encouraging healthy eating in developed countries and simultaneously allaying hunger in developing countries.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Table For Two USAs (TFT) food and nutrition education program develops a curriculum that offers Japanese-inspired food education. The program teaches students the principles of Japanese food culture while providing practical, hands-on learning in preparing healthy, nutritious foods, helping fill the gap created by the lack of food education in many U.S. schools. In 2025, TFT delivered 330 in-person classes and events, reaching 6,729 participants across the United States. In addition, the organization continued its on-demand university program, which was used by 20 to 30 universities nationwide. Through its Wa-Sho Seeds partnership program, 41 teachers across 20 states delivered Wa-Sho education in their communities. - TFTs Onigiri Action campaign provides school meals to children in need in the U.S. and East Africa. For every onigiri (rice ball) photo posted online, TFT partner organizations fund five school meals. Since its launch in 2015, the Onigiri Action campaign has provided over 10 million school meals.

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 2021 to 2022, from $394k to $642k (+63%).
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 2% · 2022 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Table For Two USA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $5k → $34k.
2 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 Table For Two USA’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
Table For Two USA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 93% · 2020 56% · 2021 67% · 2022 45% · 2023 29% — 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
40% of Table For Two USA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
Table For Two USA draws 71% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $32k 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.

Table For Two USA holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 2,059 food & nutrition nonprofits its size.
