Getting Started

It’s never too early to start thinking about your financial future, and making a planned gift is one of the most effective ways you can make a lasting impact. You can turn your compassion into action and set an example for others by remembering The Global FoodBanking Network in your will, trust, or other planned gift. Your generosity will have a lasting impact!

Making your will is one of the most important steps you can take to toward financial preparedness. With one easy step, you can create a gift to GFN in your will or living trust. This type of gift, called a bequest, is flexible and allows you to continue your support far into the future. It may be modified throughout your lifetime, allowing you to provide for both family and the causes near to your heart, in the exact way you would prefer, even if that way changes over time.

You can fund your donation with:

  • Cash
  • Appreciated Securities
  • Real Estate
  • Tangible Personal Property
  • Closely Held Stock
