What it reported doing in 2024
In 2024, Borough Community Action Network (BCAN) expanded its food access efforts by operating multiple pantry and mobile soup kitchen sites across Manhattan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, distributing over 23,000 food packages, rescuing more than 13,000 pounds of food, and serving over 10,000 hot meals. BCAN also partnered with a church and a social daycare facility to operate additional food distribution locations, which were funded through three separate spending accounts totaling $18,000 dedicated exclusively to pantry food purchases. These collaborative efforts allowed BCAN to extend its reach to more families experiencing food insecurity while building strong community-based partnerships that support sustainable service delivery.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
