Overview

Mission

Fueled By Kids provides weekend food bags each week to over 1,150 students who are identified by school guidance counselors and social workers as likely to not have a guaranteed source of food over the weekend. Fueled By Kids fills the 67-hour gap between when students most of whom are participating in the National School Lunch Program receive lunch on Friday afternoons and again when they receive breakfast on Monday mornings alleviating the food anxiety that many of these children experience as a result of not knowing where their next meal is coming from.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
