THRIVE ensures children don't go to school hungry. We deliver daily nutritious, culturally familiar meals to students living in the poorest communities of Bangladesh and the Philippines. Founded by 3 mothers who refused to walk past hungry children, THRIVE is a women led, community driven movement feeding thousands of children with daily school meals through a trusted network of local schools and partners who understand the needs of their communities. Our approach is deeply local. We build longterm partnerships with schools, families, and local governments to ensure every meal is dietician approved, affordable, and loved by kids. We source ingredients locally and work with community leaders to strengthen child nutrition while supporting the resilience in the communities we serve. THRIVE focuses on what changes a child's life: a reliable, healthy school meal. With every plate served, children stay in school, learning improves, and entire communities begin to thrive.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.

All figures are derived from public IRS Form 990 filings and are presented without evaluation of any organization. philanthropy.org does not rate, score, or rank organizations, including the pay comparisons above.
