Case Study: Feeding America achieves streamlined budgeting and predictive 10-year planning with Prophix Software

Nourishing the Finance Function at Feeding America

Feeding America, one of the United States’ largest hunger‑relief organizations, struggled with over 40 Excel workbooks that made budgeting, reporting and scenario planning cumbersome. Fundraising variables were hard to model, which limited the finance team’s ability to run reliable what‑if analyses and accurately predict national food distribution trends.

By implementing Prophix, Feeding America automated and streamlined budgeting, forecasting, reporting and project planning, enabling a strategic 10‑year outlook and better tracking of how donations translate into meals or pounds of food. The platform also supports non‑financial uses—like inventory analysis and fresh‑produce uptake—improving investment strategy and fundraising ROI, reassuring donors and helping secure future donations as the organization expands planning to include operations, personnel, revenue and CapEx.
