Overview

Mission

The goal of the alliance for better nutrition is to provide nutritiously superior meals to as many starving and malnourished children and adults as possible, by leveraging the collective power of affiliates across the nation.

What it reported doing in 2025

To accomplish this goal, an alliance has been created: 1) to allow affiliated organizations the ability to pack the nutri-plenty meal 2) to provide support to those selected organizations warehouse and distribute raw materials as needed for affiliate's events. The events result in nutritious meals that are provided at no cost to recipient organizations. The affiliates of alliance for better nutrition created 7,642,454 nutri- plenty meals in 2025.

Earned-program. 84% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 77% for direct work, and 23% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
