Mission

ALL CHILDREN AND FAMILIES DESERVE TO LIVE FREE FROM HUNGER AND POVERTY. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. WE'RE HELPING COMMUNITIES FEED CHILDREN WITH OUR NO KID HUNGRY CAMPAIGN AND ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF HUNGER AND POVERTY. IT'S A BIG JOB, BUT WE'RE NOT ALONE. WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE HAS A STRENGTH TO SHARE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Inspired people sharing strengths so all children and families live without hunger.

  • Today 14 million kids live in families that struggle with hunger. Share Our Strength is the only national nonprofit dedicated to ending child hunger in America. For over 40 years, we have been guided by one clear vision-to create an equitable nation where all children, families and communities have the nutrition and resources they need to thrive. We work to reduce child hunger by: providing grants for child nutrition programs; advocating for strong federal and state nutrition programs; providing technical, outreach, and regulatory guidance; and hosting opportunities for nutrition leaders to share solutions. To reduce summer hunger, we supported expansion of the Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) grocery benefits program and summer meal services in rural areas. We supported 40 states, Tribal Nations, and DC in operating Summer EBT programs and granted $3.1 million to help rural summer meal programs in 28 states and Puerto Rico. To help feed school kids, we granted over $1.3 million to 43 school districts in 12 states to support access to breakfast, enabling school districts to reach an additional 32,500 students in 279 schools.

    Expenses $28,374,635 · Grants $9,347,050

  • Nutrition benefits programs like SNAP are our nation's critical line of defense against hunger, providing stability and security to families during times of hardship. Share Our Strength works to make sure that accessing federal nutrition benefits is a seamless easy-to-understand process for all families and that state agencies have the technology and practices in place to process applications efficiently to make this a reality. We provided grant and technical support to help state agencies modernize their SNAP systems through improved data sharing, stronger inter-agency collaboration, and outreach to families. This work enabled $240 million in additional SNAP benefits to reach 1.3 million participants. We established a SNAP Parent & Caregiver Advisory Council so individuals with lived SNAP experience can inform SNAP modernization. We led a national network and provided grants to support the expansion of Medicaid-based nutrition services.

    Expenses $7,965,778 · Grants $2,266,100

  • Share Our Strength is the only national organization supporting and convening skilled and committed partners to build a family economic mobility movement in America. Drawing on 40 years of expertise in the food security and poverty spaces, we are advancing strategies that will bolster the family economic stability of a very key caregiver group in our nation that is heavily impacted by food insecurity-single mothers. To prevent hunger, we advanced solutions that improve single mothers' economic mobility. Working with and supporting more than 30 partners nationwide, we: secured $2.6 billion in state Child Tax Credits, benefiting 6.1 million children; expanded childcare subsidies to 17,000+ children in the South; helped 30,000+ families receive an average $14,000 annual income increase; and implemented grocery delivery pilots helping 1,200+ households save time and maximize SNAP benefits. We brought together more than 40 partners at our annual Bridge Builders Summit to strengthen coordination across our hunger and economic mobility work.

    Expenses $4,656,857 · Grants $1,473,000

  • Other program services include the international program that supports school meals and breakfast in India, and other No Kid Hungry programs.

    Expenses $8,087,679 · Grants $1,521,169

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 26 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
