What Yolo Food Bank does
Mission
The mission of yolo food bank is to make yolo county a thriving community where everyone has the resources they need to experience health, prosperity, and a high quality of life. Yolo Food bank durably increases food and nutrition security and helps create an equitable and sustainable local food system by: -connecting individuals and families to healthy, high-quality food and resources;-collaborating with community partners to deepen outreach and address food needs; & -convening key players in the community to assess progress and plan collective actions.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
This fiscal year we distributed food to nearly 31,000 food insecure residents of Yolo County each month including families, children, seniors, homeless and veterans, totaling nearly 10 million pounds.Despite being known for an abundant agricultural economy, access to nutritious food is an everyday concern for many Yolo County residents, with 20% or more of the population affected. As many as one in four children do not have enough healthy food to eat, senior citizens and rural residents are disproportionately impacted, as are the working poor and their families, the recently unemployed, veterans, students, the homeless and migrant farm workers. By providing for the nourishment of our most vulnerable neighbors, Yolo Food Bank is a partner in raising the quality of life for all who live and do business in Yolo County.

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 2022 to 2023, from $13M to $19M (+47%).
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 1% · 2018 2% · 2019 5% · 2020 15% · 2021 9% · 2022 5% · 2023 11% · 2024 14% · 2025 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of YOLO FOOD BANK’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (96% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 19 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $372k → $561k.
15 of 79 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
YOLO FOOD BANK has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
76% 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 YOLO FOOD BANK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 29% · 2018 73% · 2019 21% · 2020 18% · 2021 14% · 2022 12% · 2023 21% — 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
44% of YOLO FOOD BANK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
79% of YOLO FOOD BANK's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
