Planned Giving

Did you know that there are additional assets not covered in a standard will or trust? If you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any additional accounts, these are called “non-probate assets” and they need to be planned for separately. Using this online tool, you can log all of your assets, name NTFB as a beneficiary to strengthen missions and vocations, and receive printable instructions on how to set each one up with your broker.

Plan your beneficiaries today.

For those of you who are 70 1/2 or older and interested in making a gift directly to the North Texas Food Bank through your IRA account, you can transfer up to $100,000 annually without having to recognize the distribution as income.

IRA charitable rollover should also be received mid-December for inclusion in year-end giving.

Cash gifts can be made directly to NTFB by mail, online, or as a recurring monthly gift; and can be made in honor or memory of a loved one.

Visit our donate page for details or to make a gift.

Our mailing address is:

NTFB only accepts gifts of publically traded stock. Stocks and bonds will be sold as soon as practical. A gift of appreciated stock or bonds will allow you the same tax savings as a cash gift but with the added benefit of eliminating capital gains taxes on the transfer.

To make a gift of stock and bonds, please do so by electronic transfer. Contact Erin Fincher at 214-269-8976 for instructions on transferring from your brokerage or investment account to NTFB.

Please initiate any stock gifts by December 15th, to ensure that they are processed for that year.

A gift of real estate can be made to the food bank without touching your bank account. Appreciated property, held longer than one year qualifies as a charitable deduction; and you avoid paying a capital gains tax.
