GIVE

Together, We Can
End Hunger
in America

No one can solve hunger alone—but together, we can. When you give, you put food on tables and hope in hearts. Last year, this shared commitment helped provide over 5 billion meals. With every gift, we’re one step closer to a country where every family can thrive and no one goes hungry.

WHERE YOUR DOLLARS GO

When we work together, every dollar goes further. 98% of all cash and non-cash donations directly support programs that help people facing hunger in America. That means more of your gift puts food on the tables and hope in hearts, right in your community.

Your generosity keeps the vans rolling and the meals flowing.

What the New Tax Law Means for Your Giving

Changes to the tax code beginning January 1, 2026, could affect how—and when—you choose to give to Feeding America and other nonprofits.

What’s new:

Tax benefit for non-itemizers

Even if you don’t itemize, you can deduct up to $1,000 (single filers) or $2,000 (married couples). So even smaller donations can make an impact. Note: Gifts to donor advised funds are excluded.

New floor for itemizers

You will need to give at least 0.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) to claim a charitable deduction. Consider maximizing your giving in 2025 before the new rule takes effect.

New limit for top earners

Currently, top earners get a 37-cent tax benefit for every $1 deducted. Starting in 2026, that drops to 35 cents. If you are in the top tax bracket, consider giving more this year to avoid losing tax benefits next year.

What stays:

Income tax brackets

The new law permanently extends the current tax rates.

Standard deduction

For 2025, it will be $15,750 for single filers and $31,500 for married couples filing jointly. If you don’t itemize, you may still benefit if you give appreciated stock, real estate or, if you are 70½ or older, from your IRA.

Deduction limit for cash gifts

You can still deduct cash gifts of up to 60% of your AGI. Consider combining your cash and non-cash assets (often called blended giving) to maximize your tax benefits and impact.

Estate and gift tax exemption

It will increase to $15 million per individual and $30 million per married couple filing jointly. Your estate is likely under this amount, so focus on current giving to receive tax benefits.
