About Hatch
Hatch Inc’s recent grantmaking is built around one repeated purpose: providing protein at low or no cost through food banks and hunger-relief partners. That pattern appears across multiple years and across a wide set of recipient organizations, including The Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana in Indianapolis and Northern Illinois Food Bank in Geneva. The grants are not framed as general operating support; they are tied to moving food through a reliable supply chain so underserved communities can receive protein consistently. The foundation’s work is centered on nutrition security and food access, with grantees receiving support for protein distribution in the hunger-relief system. Several recipients appear in more than one year, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. Hatch Inc also works with a mix of large regional food banks and local pantry networks, such as Food Finders Food Bank in Lafayette and Miss Virginia’s Food Pantry in Fort Wayne. The result is a grantmaking pattern focused on a specific food category, a specific delivery channel, and a defined set of community-serving intermediaries.
