What The Humanity Alliance does
Mission
The Humanity Alliance is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) non-profit that aspires to create long-lasting community value. Our initial focus is on providing improved access to nutrition for those who are food insecure... restoring love and dignity as we serve our most vulnerable populations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
We prepare, package, and deliver ready-to-enjoy, nutritious meals (over 6,000 meals per week) to food insecure families covering 9 counties in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. Most of our ingredients are rescued from grocery stores, restaurants, and food shelves.
$650,576 spent100% of program spendingIn addition to the Weekend Meal Delivery program, our home base, Unite Lodge, offers affordable housing focused on individuals who are on their way up and need of a safe, holistic place to reside for the next step in their journey to independence. Our housing program provides opportunities to learn life skills, job skills and address trauma. A resident advocate is available to assist in navigating available community services to further support and help them thrive.

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 2020 to 2021, from $37k to $1.9M (+4933%).
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: 2021 27% · 2023 0% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
86% of The Humanity Alliance’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $48k → $226k.
10 of 33 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 41% 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 Humanity Alliance’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 33 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 Humanity Alliance has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% 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
83% 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 Humanity Alliance.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 79% · 2022 25% · 2023 27% — 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
91% of The Humanity Alliance's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $360k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
