About Hunger Solutions New York
Hunger Solutions New York Inc. channels its grantmaking into access to six federal nutrition programs: SNAP, WIC, School Meals, Summer Nutrition Programs, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), alongside related access work. Its recent funding pattern shows large subcontractor awards that support statewide implementation and outreach rather than direct individual aid, with several grants recurring across multiple years. Among the clearest examples is Benefits Data Trust, which received multiple awards from 2023 through 2025, including $1,074,805 in 2025 and $892,500 in 2024. The foundation also repeatedly supported Legal Assistance of Western New York Inc., with awards in both 2024 and 2025, and the Health and Welfare Council of Long Island, which appears across 2023 through 2025. These recurring relationships point to a network of intermediaries that help deliver nutrition access services. The grant list also includes food banks, legal aid organizations, and community-service groups across New York, showing that the foundation funds both direct nutrition access support and the legal or administrative help needed to connect eligible households with benefits.
What Hunger Solutions New York Funds
In benefits-access work, the foundation gave $1,074,805 in 2025 to Benefits Data Trust for subcontractor work, reflecting a major investment in program enrollment support. Legal and advocacy capacity is another clear theme. It awarded $381,294 in 2024 and again in 2025 to Legal Assistance of Western New York Inc. for subcontractor work, and it also supported Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York Inc. with $241,632 in 2025. Community distribution and food-system support appear in grants such as $340,000 in 2025 to Food Bank of Central New York and $171,101 in 2025 to Food for All, a Program of the Network of Religious Communities. The foundation also funded Hudson Valley Community Services Inc. for $214,953 in 2023.
