What The Outreach Connection Inc does
Mission
It is the mission of the outreach connection to stregnthen our community by providing food and essential supplies to those facing hardship. We strive to engage volunteerism and to facilitate enriching programs and events that further unite our community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
In 2025, the outreach connection made remarkable strides in combating food insecurity and expanding its services to the community. We provided over 221,000 pounds of supplies and welcomed 16,271 individual visits to our client-choice pantry. This empowering model allows clients to select the items they need, ensuring they receive nutritious food while maintaining their dignity and autonomy. Additionally, through our food pantry, we were able to distribute 100 thanksgiving meals to families in need and 2,622 bags/cans of pet food. We also provided 200+ holiday break meal kits and 116 backpacks filled with school supplies to children in our community. We invited partner agencies to set up within our facility, allowing clients to access a wider range of services while picking up their food. These collaborations included access to free produce markets, snap assistance, family services, and other essential programs, making it easier for individuals and families to receive the comprehensive support they need. This network of resources enhances our pantrys ability to meet the diverse needs of the community, providing clients with the tools and guidance to improve their overall…
$220,269 spent79% of program spendingCommunity engagement was also a key focus for us in 2025. Our dedicated volunteers contributed an impressive 11,648 hours to support our growing programs. Their efforts included working directly in the pantry, assisting at 31 threads (our clothing thrift store), and supporting various projects and committee work. 31 threads serves a dual purpose. Not only does it raise funds for the pantry, but it also provides affordable, quality clothing to community members in need. This initiative helps ensure everyone in our community has access to affordable clothing, while also fostering dignity and self-sufficiency. The funds raised from 31 threads are essential in sustaining our pantry operations and supporting the broader needs of our community. Through our comprehensive programs, expanded partnerships, and the invaluable support of our volunteers, the outreach connection continues to improve access to nutritious food and essential resources, fostering a stronger, more resilient community. Together, we empower individuals and families to build a brighter future.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $86k to $184k (+114%).
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.
100% of THE OUTREACH CONNECTION INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $16k → $40k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
THE OUTREACH CONNECTION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 75%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 OUTREACH CONNECTION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 97% · 2021 54% · 2022 45% · 2023 72% — 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
60% of THE OUTREACH CONNECTION INC's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 67% 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
91% of THE OUTREACH CONNECTION INC's grant income comes from New Jersey funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
