A real exchange with the For Impact funder database — unlimited lookups, seconds per query, cited from 990 filings.
Find the funders behind organizations like mine. We're a regional food-rescue and distribution network across the Midwest and Mid-South — our closest peers are Freestore Foodbank (Cincinnati), Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Gleaners of Southeastern Michigan (Detroit), and Dare to Care (Louisville). Who funds several of them? Those are the funders we're probably missing.
I pulled every institutional funder that appears in those four food banks' grant records (IRS 990-PF Schedule I) and ranked them by convergence — how many of your peers each one funds. Convergent funders already back organizations exactly like yours, so they're the warmest cold prospects you have.
Funders that give to all four of your peers:
| Funder | Peers | To the set | Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise Holdings Foundation | 4 of 4 | $337,999 | 2020–24 |
| McKesson Foundation | 4 of 4 | $29,273 | 2022–23 |
| JPMorgan Chase Foundation | 4 of 4 | $21,754 | 2020–24 |
| Arthur J. Gallagher Foundation | 4 of 4 | $4,811 | 2020–23 |
| Pfizer Foundation | 4 of 4 | $3,903 | 2021–23 |
| Gannett Foundation | 4 of 4 | $1,095 | 2020–23 |
Big-dollar funders giving to two or three of them — the ones worth a real cultivation plan:
| Funder | Peers | To the set |
|---|---|---|
| Kroger Co. Foundation | 2 of 4 | $1,482,277 |
| Bank of America Charitable Foundation | 3 of 4 | $811,010 |
| Kaplan Foundation | 2 of 4 | $110,000 |
| Truist Foundation | 2 of 4 | $80,000 |
| W.K. Kellogg Foundation | 2 of 4 | $63,750 |
Every row is a real grant on file, matched to the recipient by EIN. Enterprise, McKesson, JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Gallagher are the standouts: national funders already committed to food banks across your exact footprint — and not yet on your list.
