About Feed the Children

Feed the Children Inc’s recent grantmaking is dominated by very large, repeated awards for one purpose: “Necessities for Needy Children & Families.” The largest grants in the file go to Christian Appalachian Project Operation, including $58,745,279 in 2023 and $40,496,606 in 2024, followed by $42,156,480 in 2025 to the same organization’s Paintsville, Kentucky operation. That pattern shows a funder focused on direct material support rather than program experimentation, with grants flowing to organizations that distribute food and essentials to children and families. The same grant purpose appears across a wide set of partners, from Convoy of Hope in Springfield, Missouri to Illinois Partners in Hope in New Lenox, Illinois and Life Resources International in Judsonia, Arkansas. The organization’s public summary matches that pattern: providing children and families with the food and essentials kids need to grow and thrive. Across the recent grants list, the foundation supports a national network of nonprofits serving low-income children, low-income families, and economically disadvantaged households through basic necessities provisioning and emergency assistance.

What Feed the Children Funds

A clear theme is food and household essentials for children and families. Feed the Children Inc awarded $29,519,314 in 2025 to Convoy of Hope in Springfield, Missouri, and $25,638,792 in 2024 to Life Resources International in Judsonia, Arkansas, both for “Necessities for Needy Children & Families.” The foundation also backs multi-year support for regional distribution groups. It gave $14,998,403 in 2025 to Illinois Partners in Hope in New Lenox, Illinois, after $14,975,098 in 2023 and $12,956,896 in 2024 for the same purpose. In another recurring line of support, 4 Good Community in Henderson, Kentucky received $10,417,531 in 2024 and $10,415,496 in 2023. Beyond those core partners, the grants list includes Midwest Food Bank Bloomington-normal IL in Normal, Illinois, along with Jezreel International in Albany, New York, all tied to the same basic-needs mission.

How Feed the Children Gives

The typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $27,139, the median is $120,708, and the 75th percentile is $388,126. The recent grants list shows a much larger upper tier, with repeated awards in the millions to the same organizations across multiple years. That indicates a mix of smaller awards and very large, ongoing institutional support. Feed the Children Inc is a regular funder, not a DAF and not a funder of individuals. The data also shows continuity rather than one-off giving, with several recipients appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
