Mission
To provide analysis and education on hunger issues in the United States and around the world.
Program accomplishments
- Public Education:Bread for the World Institute educates our network about hunger and how to end it. The Institute informs Bread's current policy change agenda and advocacy with clear, evidence-based policy solutions that include relevant context and thoughtful analysis, and tracks emerging issues and trends related to ending hunger. (To be continued in Schedule O)Public Education:In 2025, The Institute organized numerous briefings and panel events to educate the public including: - Two Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue World Food Prize events titled: - School Meals as an Engine for Economic Impact and Trade - Hunger Hotspots and the Humanitarian-Development Nexus- A Nutrition for Growth Summit event titled Hunger Hotspots Briefing on Child Nutrition and Migration in the DRC, Sudan, South Sudan, and Chad.- A Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI) conference event titled The Future of SNAP: What We Know, What We Don't, and What to Do.Bread Institute's monthly newsletter, "Institute Insights," featured a range of topics, including an overview of recent changes in U.S. nutrition policy, reducing food waste for a more effective food system, regenerative agriculture as a tool to improve global nutrition, and the impact of tax remittances on hunger.Expenses $1,163,887 · grants $10,000 · revenue $7,151
- Outreach & Advocacy:Bread's bipartisan network includes 320,000 people and churches that are active in every congressional district. Our network engages digitally, in person, and through prayer to achieve remarkable policy impact. (To be continued in Schedule O)Outreach and Advocacy:In June 2025, we hosted our annual June events in Washington, D.C. We held a Latino Consultation, Pan-African Convening, and Advocacy Summit to educate advocates about policies and programs that address hunger and poverty. The training sessions and presentations by renowned experts enhanced summit participants understanding of the issues, equipping them with the knowledge to advocate effectively for policies that address nutritional health in the U.S. and globally. The fostering of strategic and geographic connections at the summit strengthened the U.S. advocacy network to address global poverty. Focused gatherings increased the number of faith and community leaders from Pan-African/Black and Latino groups who are engaged in food insecurity advocacy.Expenses $969,631
- Public Policy:Solving a complex problem such as hunger requires a clear understanding of the impact of specific policies and how policies affect each other. Bread's Policy and Research Institute's (PRI) nonpartisan analysis and identification of action steps help strengthen Bread as a trusted voice. (To be continued in Schedule O)Public Policy:The Institute contributed to research and thought leadership through briefings, coalition meetings, webinars, blogs, and policy papers on a variety of hunger-related policy and programs that came through Congress. Here are a few highlights from 2025: In September, Bread published its Nourish Our Future Policy Roadmap, a comprehensive framework focused on ending child hunger in the United States and around the world. The roadmap outlines practical, evidence-based policy solutions to ensure all children have consistent access to nutritious food, with particular emphasis on strengthening federal nutrition programs, improving maternal and child health, and addressing the root causes of food insecurity. Grounded in research and informed by the lived experiences of families, it has served as a unifying guide for Bread's advocacy, helping to align partners and equip policymakers with a clear, actionable path to ensure every child can thrive.In April, the Institute hosted its inaugural Climate and Nutrition Symposium to learn about and identify solutions to hunger and climate challenges in the U.S. and abroad. Featuring expert panelists with backgrounds in agricultural research, rural development, humanitarian response, and foreign aid policy, the 3-day Symposium brought together nearly 100 participants from the humanitarian, research, hunger response, and private sector to learn about how more effective food systems, better climate finance, and strategic climate mobility policies can help end hunger during a climate crisis. The final day of the Symposium culminated in bringing attendees to congressional offices to provide education on how climate is a hunger issue.In November, Bread brought together faith leaders, advocates, policy experts, and community members gathered in Frankfort, KY for a daylong conference focused on addressing hunger and strengthening our shared commitment to ending food insecurity. The event highlighted both the challenges and opportunities facing Kentucky families, especially in light of the ongoing government shutdown and cuts to federal nutrition programs. Throughout the day, participants engaged in thoughtful workshops and discussions, built relationships, and identified concrete actions to ensure every Kentuckian has access to nutritious food.A delegation from Bread participated in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), where they hosted three events highlighting how well-designed school meal programs can stabilize local food systems, support smallholder farmers, and improve long-term child health. In addition to our Bread-organized panels, we co-hosted a side event titled "Faith-based Partnership Advancing the Paris Agreement in the United States with Global Solidarity." This gathering emphasized how faith-based organizations are advancing climate priorities at both local and international levels. Bread also convened a listening session with grassroots leaders to inform our climate priorities and future scope of work. These conversations reinforced the importance of ensuring that climate-smart food policies reflect the lived realities of communities most affected by climate disruption.Expenses $4,062,224
