Donor Advised Funds
WE ACCEPT DAF GRANTS!
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF), which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to nonprofits like Second Harvest. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts. For your convenience, our Tax ID/EIN is 59-2610345.
Matching Gift Program
DID YOU KNOW THAT THOUSANDS OF COMPANIES MATCH DONATIONS MADE BY THEIR EMPLOYEES?
When you donate directly to Second Harvest through your workplace giving program, many employers will donate the same amount. (Some companies may match a retiree’s donation, too!)
Your company may also match the hours you volunteer at Second Harvest with a financial grant.
No matter the size of your gift, it will always go where it’s needed most in the fight against hunger.
Matching gift programs help us raise funds to provide more meals in our community to families, seniors, and veterans facing the fears of food insecurity.
So, want to see if your donation can go even further? Please use the search tool below to see if your company will match your gift of money or time and access the forms, guidelines, and instructions you need to submit a matching gift.
Corporate Sponsorships
LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GET YOUR COMPANY MORE INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITY?
Ask us about sponsoring a mobile food distribution! Our corporate partners have the ability to sponsor our distributions and volunteer alongside the Second Harvest team.
Food is a basic human need that no one should be without. Without the services of our food bank, thousands of our neighbors may suffer from fear, mental stress, and health issues related to food insecurity. With your team’s help, we have a chance to make a big impact and change lives for the better.
