What The Community Pantry does
Mission
The Community Pantry was established in 1998 for the purpose of providing food to the needy through various programs in the gallup and grants, new mexico areas. The organization receives donated food from other not-for- profit organizations, individuals and businesses. Some of the food is received through the organizations affiliation with feeding america. The food is distributed free or for a nominal charge to needy individuals and families or agencies who directly feed the needy.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
Now in existence since 1999, The Community Pantry continues to strive to meet the monthly needs of over 3,000 members of mckinley and cibola county communities. With over half of the population living below poverty levels, The Community Pantry provides nutritional food for over 2000 families, over 700 children through our food for kids program, over 934 elderly, over 202 veterans, and about 770 lbs of food to the homeless. We are working to enhance our gardens so that we can meet the nutritional needs of our ever growing diabetes population. The food production and gardening are exciting ventures that also include volunteerism and other types of community experts and support. We utilize our dollar stretcher program to assist the entire community with the nutritional needs, helping them make their food purchases more economical and cost effective by offering discounts that the pantry strategically organizes. We work through over 20 agencies, reaching well outside the boundaries of our city limits.

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 2018 to 2019, from $772k to $960k (+24%).
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: 2017 91% · 2018 92% · 2019 93%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of THE COMMUNITY PANTRY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $0 → $61k.
7 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 THE COMMUNITY PANTRY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 21 of 26 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
THE COMMUNITY PANTRY has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
74% 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 THE COMMUNITY PANTRY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 39% · 2021 35% · 2022 47% · 2023 50% — 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
50% of THE COMMUNITY PANTRY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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
THE COMMUNITY PANTRY draws 55% of its grant income from funders outside New Mexico, across 12 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $161k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
