Stocks and securities
When a donor gives stock or mutual funds to Food Lifeline, they can deduct the full market value of the donation and avoid capital gains tax. This allows you to contribute more while potentially lowering your tax burden.
Cryptocurrency
Donate Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more to save on taxes and make a big impact.
Real Estate
Donate real estate to make a lasting impact, unlocking the hidden potential of your property’s value.
Make a lasting difference (starting today)
Planned giving fuels Food Lifeline’s mission of helping to feed people who are experiencing hunger today while working to end hunger for tomorrow. A gift in your will creates a foundation for the future. Our work today is vital, but it is equally, if not more important, to ensure Food Lifeline can continue well into the future.
May your mission continue long after we of this time are gone.

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Gifts that pay you back
Give assets while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time or distributions at a later date.
