Donate Funds

Financial Support Options

Our federal tax ID# is 74-2227731
Contributions are tax exempt 501(c)3

By giving a monetary donation, you are investing in the health of your community. Also, monetary gifts go further than food donations because we can obtain most food just for the cost of the freight. We can also purchase food at wholesale prices; so the dollars you might have spent at retail grocery stores are multiplied when you give them to CFS instead.

$1 = 4 meals!

Stock Gifts

Gifts of stock can be especially wise, because you will not owe taxes on the capital gains of the donated stock, you may take the charitable deduction on the full value of the stock as of the day you transfer it, and the recipient may take advantage of any increased market value upon the sale of such stock. More details on how to donate stock gifts.

 

Memorial Gifts

A Memorial gift is a thoughtful and meaningful way to mark the passing of a loved one. We are always honored to help our donors acknowledge these significant events. Based upon the individual's past interests or community activities, a food bank may be a good fit. It is a gift that continues to give back. To recognize an individual, please send a note telling us that your gift is being made in memory of or honor of a particular individual. In addition to the letter we will send to you to acknowledge your thoughtful donation, we will also send a letter to the individual's family your gift commemorates. The amount of your gift will not be included in the notice. Please provide us with the full name and address of the person/s you would like us to notify.

 

Cars

If you have an old car you'd like to donate, we work with Cars for Colorado, a non-profit organization that refurbishes donated cars and auctions them off. The net proceeds can be donated to CFS if you designate us as the recipient. See www.carsforcolorado.org for more info.

 

Other options/ Planned Giving

There are many unique ways to donate that you may not have thought of, and each has it's own tax implications:

A Bequest by Will 

Gift of life insurance

Bequest of remaining IRA or Retirement Plan assets

Charitable Trust 

Charitable Gift Annuities

Please consult your financial advisor for details on each of these giving options, as each has different benefits and tax implications.

 

All Gifts Are Tax Deductible

All donations to Community Food Share are tax deductible (provided you receive no goods or services from us in return; such as with a silent auction item). CFS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization recognized by the IRS. Our tax ID # is 74-2227731. We provide acknowledgement letters/receipts with every donation. Non-cash donations can be deducted at "fair market value" as assessed by the donor.

 

However you decide to contribute, we THANK YOU!
