Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2022–2024. This is what they filed, not a complete record of their giving, and recent years may be incomplete because filings lag.

Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Refugee resettlement services delivered by local affiliate agencies
Cash grants to church-based and ecumenical food pantries
Regional food banks in CROP Walk communities
Immigrant legal and newcomer support in resettlement cities
Small emergency response grants to local groups

Typical grant

Two completely different scales sit in one filing. Resettlement affiliates under "Service to the Displaced" take $500,000 to $6.1 million each, and roughly thirty organizations absorb almost all of the $203 million. Hunger grants run $5,800 to $56,000 with a median near $12,000, and the same pantries, urban ministries and councils of churches reappear year after year, which points to formula-driven annual renewal rather than competitive review.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“SERVICE TO THE DISPLACED”
“LOCAL HUNGER PROGRAM”
“EMERGENCY RESPONSE”

Positioning adjacent work

For hunger dollars, present as a congregation-linked pantry or ecumenical ministry and ask $6,000 to $16,000.
Tie any resettlement pitch to direct services for arriving refugees, not research or advocacy.
Do not model an ask on the multimillion affiliate grants unless you hold an affiliate agreement.
Emphasize local congregational partnerships and food distribution volume; that is what the funded pantries have in common.

Worth knowing: This is a resettlement agency redistributing resources through its own affiliate network, not an endowed grantmaker, so the large checks follow structural affiliation rather than proposals. The many small hunger grants cluster in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michigan and track CROP Hunger Walk territory, which means local fundraising relationships, not merit review, determine who is on the list.
