When you make a donation to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, we dedicate 92% of our expenses to programs and allocate just 8% to administration and fundraising.
Here are some of the ways you can contribute and help us provide critical resources to our neighbors in need.
Donate Now
By giving now to CFBNJ, you can help us make a direct impact right away.
Give A Recurring Donation
By giving a recurring gift to CFBNJ, you can combat hunger all year long. Our Sustainers Circle is an effective way for you to continuously assist our neighbors. Something like donating $30 monthly would mean feeding your neighbor for a whole month. It only requires a simple one-time sign-up with the option to pause, end or opt-out at any time, and you can set the frequency- weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, and more. Your recurring donations make a direct difference in our community by giving our organization a reliable income.
Give In Tribute
Honor a loved one while providing food for hungry neighbors. Giving in tribute is a heartfelt way to honor someone important while aiding hunger relief, whether in celebration or remembrance. Join our Sustainers Circle or make a one-time payment as a tribute to a loved one today.
To make a tribute donation, make sure to check the “give in honor or in memory” box and type in your honoree’s name. After your donation is complete, you will have the option to add a custom message to your gift. This note will be sent to the recipient via email or postcard- your choice.
Family Philanthropy
Your family’s charitable values create an ethical and spiritual continuity across generations and anchors your own purpose and goals. Our Donor Engagement team partners with families both as generous supporters and as champions of our mission to end hunger in New Jersey. Reach out to learn more about how you and your family can strengthen food security in our community and advance your charitable priorities through hands-on and financial support.
Appreciated Securities, Stocks, and DAFs
When you transfer ownership of long-term holdings to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, you receive a charitable deduction for their full market value – and you incur no capital gains tax (subject to IRS deduction limits).
According to IRS regulations, the date of your gift corresponds to the date it arrives in our possession (for transfers from brokerage account to brokerage account). The following information is necessary to transfer stock to our account:
- Donor name and address
- Name and number of securities transfered
