Endowed Gifts

Your Gift Can Last Forever

An endowment gift to Food & Friends today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to our endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at Food & Friends. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support. We are also happy to discuss special naming opportunities at various endowment gift levels that are appropriate for memorial or honor tributes.

An Example of How It Works

Couple Smiling Longtime Food & Friends supporters Charlie and Susan have two goals: First, they want to make sure Food & Friends continues to receive support after they are gone. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie’s parents.

Charlie and Susan make a $25,000 donation to Food & Friends, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of Charlie’s parents. Plus, Charlie and Susan qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
