Mission Statement

Astoria Food Pantry (AFP) is a food pantry and community center that aims to bring people together to provide material support and trust based on common interests. Created as a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic, AFP is a group of neighbors working together out of a shared belief that our community is safer when we take care of each other. Our mission is to make our community a safe and equal space for people of all sexualities, genders, religions, race, ethnicities, ages, and disabilities. The Astoria Food Pantry community center is a main hub for community organizing and political education, and a second home to a dedicated group of volunteers who treat each other—and our neighbors—like close family. AFP offers free groceries, clothing, books, baby supplies, workshops, meet-ups, game nights, tenant and labor rights support, and more. AFP is constantly adapting and evolving to meet the growing needs of our neighbors: offering free ESL classes for newly arrived migrant families (especially youth) who are bussed her without a safety net; providing free basic needs and local resources for formerly incarcerated folks and their families due to our proximity to Rikers Island; and even just providing free heating and cooling centers during extreme weather.

CharityAI™ rates charities from 0 to 100 using public filings (IRS Form 990 and the equivalent registries outside the US) together with the information the charity itself provides on DonationX. Ratings are recalculated every quarter, without human bias, and shown as stars.

Four pillars

Financial strength30%

Program expense ratio, fundraising efficiency, operating reserves, liabilities and revenue diversification, compared with similar organizations.

Reliability20%

Standing with the registry, filing history, verification and how complete the profile is.

Effectiveness25%

How much goes to programs and how consistently the organization delivers them.

Impact25%

The outcomes the charity reports on DonationX: people served, cost per service and results.

Stars

★★★★★ 80–100 ★★★★☆ 60–79 ★★★☆☆ 40–59 ★★☆☆☆ 20–39 ★☆☆☆☆ 1–19

A pillar with no data counts as zero. Without impact metrics the score is capped at 59 (three stars): only the charity can supply that data.
The coverage grade (A to D) says how much filing data the score rests on; NONE means there is not enough to rate.
An organization that is not in good standing with its registry (for example a revoked tax exemption) is shown as Not rated.
"Compared with peers" places the charity's key ratios against organizations of the same country, sector and size.
