How to find Feed America on Fidelity Charitable
When recommending a grant, search by EIN 92-1761881 (NOT by name "Feed America" — name match may surface the larger separately-incorporated Feeding America homonym, EIN 36-3673599). On the grant recommendation form, paste 92-1761881 directly.
Step-by-step
- Go to Fidelity Charitable
- Open the grant recommendation form
- Search by EIN: paste 92-1761881 in the search field
- Confirm the result shows: Feed America, headquartered in Houston, TX
- Submit the grant recommendation
- The transaction confirmation should display EIN 92-1761881 — that confirms the gift routes to Feed America
What if the platform shows BOTH "Feed America" AND "Feeding America" (the larger separately-incorporated homonym, EIN 36-3673599)?
This is common and expected. The two organizations are separate:
- Feed America (us): EIN 92-1761881, Houston TX, founded 2021 by Sharika Parkes — the open-data food-assistance directory at feedam.org
- Feeding America (separate org): EIN 36-3673599, Chicago IL, founded 1979 — the national food-bank network at feedingamerica.org
Both are legitimate 501(c)(3) public charities. The IRS uses EIN as the unique identifier — verify the EIN displayed on the platform matches 92-1761881 to ensure your gift reaches Feed America.
Tax receipt verification
After your donation, you'll receive a tax receipt from Fidelity Charitable (or directly from Feed America for some platforms). The receipt should display:
- Recipient name: Feed America
- EIN: 92-1761881
- Recipient address: 13100 Wortham Center Dr FL 3-1046, Houston, TX 77065
- Tax-deductibility statement (IRS Section 170)
If the receipt EIN doesn't match 92-1761881, contact Fidelity Charitable support immediately — the gift may have routed to the wrong organization.
