Donor-Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. DAFs can easily be set up through the Community Foundation of New Jersey (visit www.cfnj.org or call 973-267-5533 for more information), your financial institution, or a sponsoring organization that administers the fund, such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable or BNY-Mellon. If you already have a donor-advised fund that participates in DAF Direct, you can recommend grants to support Interfaith Food Pantry Network directly below. IFPN’s tax ID # is 22-3618468.

Leave a Gift in Your Will

Create a lasting legacy with a gift designated in your will. A simple sentence is all it takes to include IFPN. For example:

“I give to the Interfaith Food Pantry Network, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 2 Executive Drive, Morris Plains, NJ 07950, or its successor thereto, ______________* [specific dollar amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its [unrestricted or restricted] use and purpose.

If you have included a bequest for IFPN in your estate plan, please contact Shana Baer at 973-538-8049 x221 or sbaer@mcifp.org so we can thank you and recognize your gift.

Stock Transfers

Stock donations made to IFPN can significantly reduce the amount of tax you pay. Donating stock allows you to legally evade paying income tax on the fair market value of the amount donated as well as capital gains tax on any appreciated value of the shares donated. Please consult your financial advisor for more information.

It is IFPN’s policy to cash out stock transfers as quickly as possible so the value of your tax benefit will be as close to the value of the stock as possible. Contact Wendy Potkay at (973) 538-8049 x220 or wpotkay@mcifp.org for more information.

IRA Contributions

Current federal law allows those 70 ½ or older to donate a gift of up to $100,000 to IFPN without reporting the withdrawal as taxable income. This is particularly useful if you must make a minimum distribution but do not need the income, have exceeded your ability to claim an income tax-deduction, do not itemize your deductions or may have more of your Social Security income taxed by receiving additional income. Please contact your financial advisor for additional information. Please contact your financial advisor for additional information.
