Transforming Lives, Strengthening Communities

Your generosity has the power to create lasting change.

Whether you’re making a long-term pledge, giving through a donor-advised fund, or donating appreciated assets, your commitment drives real impact in our community.

Donor-Advised Funds – Giving Made Simple

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is one of the most tax-smart and flexible ways to give. It allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada at your convenience. With a DAF, you can turn your generosity into a lasting impact, helping to provide nutritious meals and vital support to families year-round.

How to Give Through a DAF:

Simply request that your institution or community foundation issue a grant to:
Food Bank of Northern Nevada
PO Box 50550
Sparks, NV 89435-0550

Gift of Appreciated Securities – Maximize Your Impact

Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a powerful way to support hunger relief while maximizing your tax benefits. By giving appreciated securities directly to the Food Bank, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the asset. This means more of your gift goes toward feeding families in need.

Your strategic gift fuels a future where no one in our community has to wonder where their next meal will come from. Thank you for being part of this mission.
