Ways to Give
Each and every day we hear the stories. From the mom of a child recently diagnosed with celiac disease to the person managing diabetes trying to make ends meet. For each of them, food is medicine - their prescription.
People with a diet-treated illness often see their grocery bills double. Everyday food items, like bread and milk, are now much more expensive. Many are left to make hard decisions - buy groceries or pay the electric bill. Or worse yet, eat food that they know may send them to the hospital.
This is where Food Equality Initiative comes in. Helping those at the intersection of food insecurity and a diet-related chronic diseases and conditions. Through our direct service and education programs, we help people get the nourishing foods they need.
We cannot do it without you.
I'm really liking the program! It's introducing me to healthy foods I hadn't known about before and adding them to my diet.

How can I support the work of FEI?
-
A one-time donation to Food Equality Initiative does not require a special occasion or time of year. There are people requesting our direct food services each and everyday, all-year-long.
-
Consider making a gift from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to support Food Equality Initiative's mission of increasing access to nourishing food to people in need. A DAF donation is a simple, tax-efficient way to contribute, allowing you to recommend a grant directly from your fund to FEI.
These contributions provide essential, ongoing support to sustain our programs, making a powerful impact on the lives of those facing food insecurity.
To initiate a grant, simply contact your DAF provider and designate Food Equality Initiative as the recipient. FEI’s tax ID number is 47-2377396. Your generosity helps create healthier futures for all.
-
The Crew is FEI’s monthly giving program. Your gift of $25 or more per month allows us to provide food as medicine to those experiencing diet-treated illnesses or allergies such as celiac disease, diabetes, and more.
As a member of The Crew, you are showing your commitment to fighting for nutrition security and health equity for all.
-
Many employers in the U.S. match dollar-for-dollar the charitable gifts their employees make – some may even double or triple match an employee's donation. These programs are a wonderful way to maximize your ability to contribute to FEI. Your $100 contribution can easily turn into a $200 or even $300 gift for the charity of your choice, with a match from your company!
Please check with your employer to see if they match!
