About FOOD FOR HUNGRY MINDS

Food for Hungry Minds (FHM) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) charity (EIN 20-1331977) that operates donor‑supported, results‑focused elementary education programs for children from underprivileged communities in the Philippines. FHM’s model combines an intensive, bilingual Grades 4–6 academic program with meals, health support, transportation, family engagement, and close monitoring of learning outcomes so scholars can access higher‑quality secondary schools.

The organization maintains an active U.S. nonprofit presence (based in Circle Pines / Minneapolis, MN) that raises funds and supports local Philippine affiliates which run the schools in Metro Manila and Malolos, Bulacan. In recent years FHM has continued programmatic activity and reporting (including a PCNC accreditation renewal in 2023) and reported roughly $240K in revenue and about $700–$710K in assets on its most recent public financial filings (fiscal 2024).

Notable achievements

Sustained reach and program outcomes

Over more than a decade the organization has supported a multi‑year, bilingual Grade 4–6 program that has served 800+ children across its Philippine sites and tracks student achievement in core subjects to measure impact and transitions to secondary schools.

Stable recent financial position

Public filings for fiscal 2024 show continued operating revenue (~$240K) and reported total assets in the approximately $700K range, indicating capacity to sustain program operations and scholarship support.
