Programs

  1. The trust meals on wheels program is making a significant impact in the lives of homebound seniors and eligible individuals in its service area. Food expense has risen but the year-round need is constant. No individual is ever turned away for their inability to pay. Last year, the program delivered 32,600 hot, nutritious meals, thanks to dedicated volunteers who contributed more than 2,500 hours of their time. The program offers both hot daily meal delivery and weekly frozen meal options for those who prefer them. We have increased staff to support the many ways in which we provide food resources. Trust's meals on wheels program is committed to providing healthy meals and supporting seniors in maintaining their independence.

  4. At trust, we are incredibly grateful for the support of our volunteers who help us fulfill our mission of providing essential services to those in need. Our meals on wheels program, which delivers nutritious meals to seniors and individuals with disabilities, would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteer drivers. In 2025, 130 volunteers contributed over 3,500 hours to this program alone. Similarly, our estate sale services program, which raises critical funds for our organization, is almost entirely run by volunteers. In 2025, 35 volunteers worked a total of 6,000 hours to ensure the success of this program. Our volunteers don't just support our largest programs. They also play a vital role in our other initiatives, additionally, around 35 other volunteers assisted with various programs and initiatives at trust throughout 2025. In total, there were 175 volunteers who helped out during the year. Their support provides us with resources to expand support our clients.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $7k → $60k.

4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 TRUST INC’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

TRUST INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

100% 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 TRUST INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $42k 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.
