Planned Giving

Why make a planned gift?

To honor a loved one. A memorial gift provides a lasting remembrance.

To say thank you.

To give back. Share your success and good fortune by giving something back to others.

Helping others brings its own joy and happiness.

Tax advantages

There are tax advantages to making a planned gift.  Speak to your financial planner about the following potential deductions:

Income tax savings: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows you to deduct a portion of your charitable donations on your income tax return, provided you itemize.

Reduction of estate taxes: Gifts to a qualified organization, either now or at death, avoids the federal estate tax.

The impact

Your gift provides emergency food to needy families free of charge and supports advocacy efforts that address root causes of hunger.

Each year your gift will grow in size and impact, touching the lives of thousands of people.

How it works

Your gift becomes part of Hunger Task Force's Endowment Fund. The fund is invested and grows tax free. Every year, a portion of the fund is used by Hunger Task Force to feed those in need in the Milwaukee community.
