Programs
The potato and produce project: the focus of this program is on salvaging potatoes and other produce that are considered to be unmarketable due to size or other small flaws. The produce is given to the society free of charge, but the society must pay for packaging and freight. Salvaged produce is distributed to food banks and various other organizations, usually in truckloads of 45,000 lbs.the potato and produce project also purchases seeds and seed potatoes for shipment to areas having available land, but lacking the resources to purchase seed. The produce yielded from the seeds and seed potatoes goes to the needy in the area or to a food bank.

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 2019 to 2020, from $2.0M to $4.4M (+116%).
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 1% · 2021 1% · 2022 3% · 2023 2% · 2024 2% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of THE SOCIETY OF ST ANDREW INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (96% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
40% 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 SOCIETY OF ST ANDREW INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2018 23% · 2019 52% · 2020 20% · 2021 28% · 2022 21% · 2023 40% — 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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.
