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

Cash grants to member food banks for food distribution
Large metro food bank operations in TX, CA, OH, PA, NY
Statewide food bank associations, e.g. Feeding Pennsylvania
Outsized awards to regions after major disasters
Rural and small-state food banks (WV, SD, NE, NM, RI)

Typical grant

The median grant is $740,718, with the middle half falling between $389,984 and $1,277,102. The biggest checks, $2M to $5.2M, go to food banks in disaster-affected regions and to very large metro distributors like Los Angeles Regional, Houston, Atlanta and Tarrant Area; the sub-$800K awards go to smaller-territory or rural banks. With 1,190 grants to only 272 recipients across four years, the same food banks are funded roughly every year.

Their words

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

“Fight Hunger”
“Food Bank”
“Foodbank”
“Second Harvest”
“Feeding America”

Positioning adjacent work

Do not approach directly. Partner with a named member food bank and be a line in their budget.
Frame any proposal around food distribution capacity, the only purpose in the record.
Match the local bank's own scale: their grants cluster near $400K to $1.3M.
Target the high-volume banks in TX, CA, OH, PA and NY where dollars concentrate.

Worth knowing: Every dollar in this record goes to food banks inside the Feeding America network under one purpose line, "Fight Hunger," so this functions as internal network allocation rather than open grantmaking. Geography tracks the network footprint, and the largest 2024 awards land in disaster-affected areas such as Asheville, Treasure Coast, and New Orleans, consistent with surge response rather than new program bets.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
