Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Driving a youth-inspired nation-wide movement to organize communities to give locally and make a collective impact on hunger. We believe: Everything collected through our organization should be donated directly to a charity selected by each participating group People of all backgrounds and beliefs can work together Hunger and poverty have a negative impact on individuals and the communities in which they live, yet there is joy in serving and giving to those in need The excitement and energy surrounding the Super Bowl can be used to engage young people in service while producing lasting hope for all people Young people have the ability to serve and should be given opportunities to lead their communities in helping others

National Campaigns
Using the energy of the super bowl, organizations and partners such as food retailers and media, the national campaign's goal is to saturate the marketplace to encourage communities to raise food and money during the few weeks before the big game for their local communities. This is a national campaign. We have participation in every state.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We unite all communities to tackle hunger.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We unite all communities to tackle hunger by:
1. Souper Bowl of Caring signature campaign
2. The Tackle Hunger Map/Fundraising and Awareness of food charities
3. Youth Engagement
4. Government Alliances/Advocacy for Hunger Relief
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our network is comprised of thousands of grassroots groups who come together to tackle hunger for their local food charities. Souper Bowl of Caring organizes events and campaigns to bring together these groups in one large movement of giving and serving others (the most impactful event is around the Super Bowl each year. Our biggest challenge has been that we ask people to give everything to their charity of choice. That means we don't see any of the funds from these collections and thus we have a very hard time fundraising for ourselves. We have a high ROI, with every $1 given to us making $18 for hunger solutions, but creating a sustainable fundraising model so that we can be more consistent year to year has proven challenging. We need more consistent support from those who care about hunger solutions and youth in our communities.
In addition, we have a large network of food charities who indicate their needs through our Tackle Hunger Map and who value the programs we organize to help them. The Tackle Hunger Map allows the user to see local food charities and support them in one easy platform.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have raised over $25 million for local hunger relief over just the last 3 years. We currently have nine great NFL teams supporting our mission. We would like to have all of our NFL teams partner with us in our efforts to have youth involved in their communities across the nation (not just in certain locations). We have, on average, about 10,000 organizations take part in their own campaigns in their local communities. We would like to double that over the next ten years.
The use of the Tackle Hunger Map is growing. We would like to have a good sense that we have all of the food charities in the US on the map and are able to use that data to help identify vulnerable areas where lack of food resources exist in the US so that either nonprofit groups or other resources can be deployed to support the needs in that community. We truly believe that no one should go without soup in their bowl.
