Media Donated $1.4M 1.5Billion 100%Of Feeding BRINGING HOPE TO 46 MILLION PEOPLE 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Feeding America is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization. Our mission is to feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger. Each year, the Feeding America network helps provide food to more than 46 million people facing hunger in the United States, including 12 million children and 7 million seniors. Through 200 member food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs, the Feeding America network serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Together we secure nearly 4 billion pounds of food annually, which provides 3.3 billion meals directly to individuals and families in need. OUR LEADERS 2 FEED THE NATION 4 LEAD THE MOVEMENT 14 DONOR HONOR ROLL 26 NETWORK MEMBERS 48 FINANCIALS 50 OUR LEADERS BRINGING HOPE TO 46 MILLION PEOPLE Dear Friends, What began 35 years ago as a small group of dedicated food bank leaders is now the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization—a powerful and efficient network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs. Today, we respond to the hunger crisis by not only providing food to people in need, but also building collaborative long-term solutions to address root causes of hunger. While food insecurity rates remain the highest ever recorded—1 in 6 Americans face hunger—people like you have made the difference because you believe in the possibility of a hunger-free America. You believe that no child or neighbor of yours should go to bed hungry or wake up wondering where his or her next meal might come from. As businesses, charities, individuals and government agencies, we all have a role to play in getting more food to people in need. Your engagement has galvanized us to think boldly about our role. Feeding America is committed to feeding the nation by more comprehensively addressing the meal gap, the 8.6 billion meals missing from families’ tables each year, and leading the movement to end hunger in our country. This year the Feeding America network of food banks provided our neighbors with 3.3 billion meals, a quarter of which were comprised of fruits and vegetables. Together we protected hunger-relief legislation from harmful cuts, released groundbreaking research, increased public support, and strengthened programs that reach vulnerable populations like children and seniors. Your generosity inspired growth in donations of both food and funds and made Feeding America a $2.1 billion nonprofit organization, which has enabled us to reach more men, women and children than ever before. Together we provide meals for more than 46 million people to help them lead healthier, more active lives. Together, a hunger-free America is possible. Together we can solve hunger. Thank you for investing in Feeding America and our mission.

    May 4th 2020 Written evidence submitted by Money Mail (COV0131) Dear Sir/Madam, The Daily Mail’s personal finance section Money Mail has compiled a dossier of readers’ letters that we hope you will find useful to your inquiry into food supply in the Covid-19 pandemic. We first published a story on Wednesday, April 22, detailing the problems some classed as ‘clinically vulnerable’ were having securing a supermarket delivery in the lockdown. We then received hundreds of emails and letters from readers sharing their experiences. This was one of the biggest responses we have received to a story in recent memory. Money Mail then ran another story the following Wednesday (April 29th) sharing more reader stories and calling on supermarkets to do more to help. In this story, we told readers that their letters (with personal details removed) would be sent to the Efra inquiry. The pages that follow, we have included more 300 of the letters and emails we received in response to our coverage of the issue. Regards, The Money Mail team, Daily Mail 1. My husband and I are having to shield but unfortunately like most other people in similar circumstances, do not meet the very limited criteria set out by the Government for assistance with Food Deliveries. One has to ask why do so many able bodied people clap and cheer for the NHS Staff from their door steps on a Thursday evening yet a great many of them go online to do their Grocery Shopping booking a Home Delivery Slot?

  • Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities
    Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities Introduction This guide addresses examining tax exempt organization fundraising and provides: Background information Audit guidelines Audit techniques Audit procedures This guide is not all-inclusive and doesn’t intend to limit agents to identifying issues or using techniques not listed in this guide. For information on fundraising issues involving political organizations, see the Audit Technique Guide for Political Organizations. For information on fundraising issues involving gaming activities, see the Audit Technique Guide for Organizations Conducting Gaming Activities. This manual is organized into five sections: Background information Activities (professional fundraisers, fundraising events, internet fundraising) Records (solicitations, disclosures, cash contributions, non-cash contributions) Reporting (Form 990-EZ, Form 990: Core Return, Schedule G, Schedule M, Form 990-PF, Form 990-T) Audit procedures (pre-audit, field/OCEP, penalty considerations, case closing) Background Most, if not all, tax exempt organizations need money. Many exempt purposes can only be achieved via the application of money. Thus, large numbers of organizations devote significant resources to acquiring money. These organizations use various methods to obtain funds, ranging from selling a product or service, conducting a fundraising event, to just asking for money. Traditional methods of obtaining funds include soliciting donors via the mail, phone calls, newspapers, radio, television, and now via the Internet. Organizations have become creative over the years, conducting activities and events, such as the sales of foodstuffs, car washes, raffles, casino nights, auctions, and pledge drives, evolving towards more sophisticated ways to fundraise, such as targeting solicitations, using patronage levels, crowd-funding, and tax planning, such as conservation easements, lending arrangements, and charitable gift annuities.

  • Volunteering Policy
    My Volunteering Policy The purpose of this policy is to outline the opportunities and procedures for Thomson Reuters employees to engage in community volunteering activities. By allowing all regular employees time off to volunteer, Thomson Reuters can continue to invest in its local communities, and have a meaningful impact on the world around us one community at a time. Thomson Reuters encourages employees from across the business to take part in volunteering activities with recognized charities and community organizations including accredited schools. To enable this we offer all regular full-time and part-time employees* time off with pay for at least 2 days or 16 hours per calendar year (pro-rated for part-time staff). *Part-time employees are eligible if their regularly scheduled hours are 20 or more per week. Multiply the number of hours worked in a day by two; the result is the annual number of hours eligible for paid time off to volunteer (4 hours a day x 2 = 8 hours a year). GUIDELINES FOR VOLUNTEERING Volunteering during working hours is at your manager’s discretion and subject to the needs of the business. You should obtain your manager’s approval to use paid time off to volunteer and then log your paid volunteer hours into My Community. For full details of how to apply for volunteering, read our My Volunteer FAQ in My Community. RECOGNIZED CHARITIES AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS Through this policy and our programs we support organizations that are registered as a charity not-for-profit or tax exempt organizations and accredited schools.

  • Eight Mechanisms That Drive Charitable Giving René Bekkers
    Eight Mechanisms That Drive Charitable Giving* René Bekkers and Pamala Wiepking An overwhelming body of knowledge is available on philanthropy in the social sciences. Research on philanthropy appears in journals from very different disciplines. We present an overview of research on determinants of charitable giving from all disciplines. Why Do People Give? Experiments in economics, sociology, social psychology, biology, and marketing have shown how situations can be created that encourage giving. The situations in these experiments are created by researchers, which allows for causal inferences about determinants of giving. From these experiments, conclusions can be drawn about why people give. We reviewed this literature and identify eight mechanisms as the key mechanisms that have been studied as determinants of philanthropy. They are (a) awareness of need; (b) solicitation; (c) costs and benefits; (d) altruism; (e) reputation; (f) psychological benefits; (g) values; (h) efficacy. Below we present the eight mechanisms that drive giving. The order in which the eight mechanisms are presented does not reflect the importance or causal strength of the mechanisms. Rather, the order corresponds to the chronological order in which they affect giving in the typical act of donation. For each mechanism, we present the main effect. In many cases, these main effects can be moderated (or sometimes mediated) by other factors. Moderating factors are factors that weaken or strengthen the effect of the mechanism: conditions or personal characteristics that interact with the main effect. Mechanism 1: Awareness of Need Awareness of need is a first prerequisite for philanthropy. People have to become aware of a need for support.

  • Section 501 on the Ground That All of Its Profits Are Payable to One Or More Organizations Exempt from Taxation Under Section 501
    F. IRC 502 - FEEDER ORGANIZATIONS 1. Introduction An organization described in IRC 502 does not qualify for exemption under any paragraph of IRC 501(c). The purpose of this article is to discuss some of the basic issues presented by IRC 502, to explain how it should be interpreted and applied, and to consider the amount of unrelated business activity that an exempt charitable organization may engage in. IRC 502 provides that an organization operated for the primary purpose of carrying on a trade or business for profit shall not be exempt under IRC 501 on the ground that all of its profits are payable to one or more organizations exempt under IRC 501. 2. Purpose of Feeder Provisions A brief consideration of the reasons for the enactment of IRC 502 provides some insight as to how it should be interpreted. There was growing concern, particularly after World War II, about the increasing amount of business activities carried on by exempt organizations, particularly, charitable organizations. In a series of cases involving taxable years prior to 1951, certain organizations popularly called "feeder organizations" were held exempt from federal income tax under the predecessor to IRC 501(c)(3), even though their sole activity was engaging in commercial business, and the only basis for exemption was the fact their profits were payable to specified exempt organizations. See Roche's Beach, Inc. v. Commissioner, 96 F. 2d 776 (1938); C. F. Mueller Company v. Commissioner, 190 F. 2d 120 (1951). The courts held that the exclusive purpose required by the statute was met when the only object of the organization was religious, scientific, charitable, or educational, without regard to the method of obtaining funds necessary to effectuate the objective.

  • Piton Wealth Raises Over $5,000 at Benefit Concert with Singer-Songwriter James Lanman ______
    PITON WEALTH RAISES OVER $5,000 AT BENEFIT CONCERT WITH SINGER-SONGWRITER JAMES LANMAN _____________________________________________________________________ 16 July 2019 (KENNEWICK, WA) For two decades Michelle Clary and her team have operated in wealth management in the Tri-Cities, first as an affiliate practice of Fortune 500 company Thrivent Financial and as of 2018, the CEO and founder of Piton Wealth. It isn’t difficult to see how Clary and her team have consistently ranked in the upper 1% of Thrivent practices in client satisfaction. Taking an active role in the local community and bringing people together for a good cause seems to be second nature for a company that revolves so heavily around encouraging clients to thrive both personally and professionally. In 2017, Michelle and her husband Andy opened their home to singer-songwriter James Lanman who was on a living room concert tour across the US and Canada, where he performed for a mix of their clients and friends. The following year, Michelle had the idea to leverage the draw of live music, food from local eatery, Porter’s Real BBQ, and their expansive network by turning it into a fundraiser. Teaming up with Lanman to sell tickets to his performance at their home, Piton Wealth then matches all ticket sales from the concert to raise money for the Tri-County Habitat for Humanity branch, where Andy also serves on the board. They also have a tradition of a side contest where guests bring their A-game side dishes and judges select the top 3 winners. Now in its third year, what has affectionately become known as “Kennewoodstock” between Lanman and Clary, has become quite the event.

  • 1 Understanding the Critical Section
    Understanding the Critical Section 509(a) Classification for Auxiliary Organizations Each auxiliary organization should have an IRS tax-exemption determination letter that the entity is an IRC §501(c)(3) – as a charitable organization -- and classifying it into one of the three (3) “public charity” subsets under Section §509(a).1 The §509(a) subset is where the Internal Revenue Code defines a “private foundation” by listing entities that are not private foundations. Under §509(a), an organization is presumed to be a private foundation unless it can prove that it is a public charity based upon its activities. The §509(a) subset classification typically is set when the organization applies for tax-exempt status. But reclassifications can occur with the filing of a change on the IRS Form 990, or as a result a perceived change in the role/function of the organization. Each §509(a) subset involves certain qualification “tests” and the subsets are not necessarily mutually exclusive – that is an organization might fit within any one of the three subsets. Section 509(a)(1) “publicly supported organizations” are the most common “public charities.” They typically include educational organizations, churches, hospitals, and public institutions, or organizations for the benefit of colleges and universities. The qualifying test for a 509(a)(1) organization is that it must receive a substantial part (receive at least one-third) of its support from a governmental unit or from the general public, and be organized and operated exclusively to receive, hold, invest, and administer property and make expenditures to or for the benefit of a governmental unit.
