Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. You can use your donor-advised fund (DAF) to make a one-time gift, or to create a recurring monthly or quarterly gift for even more impact. The secure DAF link below:

  • Automatically links with your DAF
  • Allows you to recommend how you’d like us to utilize your gift
  • Notifies Food For The Poor of your intentions

Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.

Memorial or Tribute Gift

When you give a memorial or tribute gift to Food For The Poor to honor someone special, you’re expressing your love, admiration, and gratitude in one of the most meaningful ways possible. Your gift will honor your loved one, create a lasting tribute, and help bring an end to poverty in the Caribbean and Latin America.

To learn more about memorial or tribute gifts, please get in touch with us toll-free at 1-800-427-9104 or email us at donorservice@foodforthepoor.org.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

You can use stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have appreciated to support our shared vision. You may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock (up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income) and avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the value of the stock. Use this tool to donate stock, allowing us to track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you receive the tax savings you deserve.

Matching-Gift Opportunities

Would you like to maximize the impact of your giving and encourage other supporters to mobilize on behalf of people in need? Consider sponsoring a matching gift challenge. Donate a pool of funds to Food For The Poor, from which we will match any donation made within a given period of time. In this way, you can double the impact of your giving.

How Matching-Gifts Work

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)

You can transfer funds from your IRA directly to Food For The Poor. This is an effective way to have an immediate impact and ensure our work of helping those living in poverty achieve the fullness of life as promised by the Kingdom of God. Here’s how it works:

  • You must be 70½ or older.
  • An individual may transfer up to a total of $108,000 per year, and a married couple may give up to $216,000 to all organizations.
  • Your gift must be transferred directly from the IRA account to Food For The Poor.
  • Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to Food For The Poor, so it does not count as income for the year.
  • If you are 73 or older, the transfer of funds counts towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA.

You can download a sample letter for your IRA administrator here to start the distribution process. You may also be able to request a qualified charitable distribution through your online account portal. By using the link below to make a gift from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork, and we will track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
