To lead and engage our community in the fight against hunger. Weld Food Bank is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization that alleviates hunger and poverty by providing food and services to people in need.
Weld Food Bank’s recent grantmaking is built around direct food provision at scale: the two largest grants in the file go to Partner Agencies for meals, at $1,845,421 in 2024 and $1,634,654 in 2023. That pattern matches its role as a public charity focused on hunger relief and food distribution in Weld County. The foundation funds programs that move food through partner agencies, schools, and emergency food channels, with support aimed at households facing food insecurity, children, and low-income seniors. Its active programs show how that work is organized in practice: agency food distribution, school food pantry partnerships, and child feeding programs, including Kids Cafe and summer feeding. Recent grants also show administration support for regional food assistance systems, including TEFAP and CSFP, which points to a funder that backs both food delivery and the logistics that keep that delivery operating. The result is a grantmaker centered on immediate food access rather than broad, multi-sector philanthropy.
In agency-based hunger relief, Weld Food Bank gave $183,695 in 2024 to Food Bank of Larimer County for ADMIN TEFAP/CSFP, and $68,171 in 2024 to Community Food Share for the same purpose. Those awards show support for government-fed food assistance administration, not only direct distribution. Child hunger is another clear line of work: the foundation’s active programs include School Food Pantry Partnership and Child Feeding Programs, with school pantries, Kids Cafe, and Summer Feeding serving children in immediate need. Its program description also ties grantmaking to food access in Weld County through partner schools and nonprofit agencies. Across these areas, the foundation appears to fund both the food itself and the operational structures that place it where people can use it quickly.
Typical grant size is mid-to-large, with a p25 of $36,357, a median of $100,908, and a p75 of $546,435. The file shows a mix of very large operating-style awards and smaller administration grants, suggesting support for both direct service and program implementation. Grantmaking is recurring rather than one-off: Partner Agencies appears in both 2023 and 2024 at multi-million-dollar levels, and regional food banks also recur across years. Weld Food Bank is a public charity, not a fund that makes grants to individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The active programs also indicate that some funding can be unsolicited, especially through agency and school partnership channels.
