As 2025 comes to a close, there are many impactful ways to support EFN in fighting food insecurity. Here’s a few options to consider:
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you’re 70½ or older, you can distribute up to $108,000 annually from your IRA (or $216,000 for married couples) directly to nonprofits like EFN—without it being considered taxable income.
Donor-Advised Fund Gift
Recommending a year-end gift through your donor-advised fund is an easy way to help neighbors in need.
Donate Stocks, Bonds, or Mutual Funds
A gift of appreciated securities allows you to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable tax deduction.
Employer Matching Gifts
Many employers match charitable contributions—doubling or even tripling your impact.
