Corporate Food Donations
Donations to the Food Bank — whether in food or money — are valuable. Particularly for corporate donors, donating products does more than make the donor feel good. It’s also a smart business practice.
- Corporate donors can recoup significant tax savings. The tax deduction usually equals cost basis plus one-half the unrealized profits.
- Corporate donors can save storage costs and dumping fees on products they can’t move.
- Corporate donors can reduce waste of good product.
- Corporate donors can build their public image by supporting hunger relief efforts in their local communities.
- Corporate donors are protected from liability by the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act.
