Appreciated Securities

Manna accepts gifts of stock, bonds, and mutual funds. Please contact our office for details on how to process such donations or use our Stock Transfer Instructions.

IRA Charitable Rollover or QCD

If you own an IRA and are age 70 1/2 or over, the IRA Charitable Rollover is a smart and easy way to support Manna Food Project. The rollover amount is not subject to income tax, and your gift is put to immediate use helping to feed the hungry among us. Please contact your financial advisor to learn more about qualified charitable distributions.

Donor Advised Funds

You may establish a Donor Advised Fund through a financial investment firm of your choice or through your Community Foundation. A Donor Advised Fund allows taxpayers to make a large fully deductible contribution in one tax year and then use those funds every year after that to make charitable contributions to qualified public charities, like Manna Food Project. You can donate through your DAF online using the donation box above and selecting “Donor Advised Fund” as the payment method.

Charitable Gift Annuities

With a charitable gift annuity, you can make a gift now, receive a partial tax benefit, and receive interest above current CDs or money market rates for the rest of your life, or the rest of your spouse’s life. Your gift may come from appreciated stock or an IRA distribution, which may reduce income taxes.
