Cash Gift

Support our mission with a gift by check or credit card, or become a monthly donor to provide reliable support year-round.

Donor-Advised Funds

Recommend a grant from your DAF to help nourish our neighbors. You can also create a lasting legacy by naming Capital Area Food Bank as the beneficiary of your DAF.

Stock & Securities

Make a gift of appreciated stocks and securities to support our community. This tax-smart giving option may help you minimize capital gains and receive a charitable deduction.

IRA Charitable Distributions

If you are age 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA. Your gift may also satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution.

Wills & Bequests

Include Capital Area Food Bank in your will or living trust to help ensure we can nourish for as long as we’re needed. Your plans can be updated throughout your lifetime, giving you the flexibility to support the causes that matter most to you.

Estate Planning

When you include the Capital Area Food Bank in your estate plan, your generosity helps provide food to our community for years to come. Thank you for ensuring the Food Bank can continue serving our neighbors well into the future.
