Overview

Mission

Believing children are more able to learn when well-nourished, we provide nutritional food to children and families within the Poudre School District who may otherwise go without food over the weekend.

What it reported doing in 2025

McBackPack delivered 16,292 bags of food across 61 schools in the Poudre School District this year, providing weekend meals for 684 families - an average of 24 meals per family.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 87% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
