Employer matching gifts
Many employers match employee gifts to eligible 501(c)(3) charities, often 1:1. Where your employer matches, a $100 gift can become $200 or more to Feed America at no extra cost to you.
Step-by-step
- Donate first — most matching programs require an existing donation to match. Donate now →
- Find your employer's matching portal — usually under "benefits", "workplace giving", or "matching gifts" in your HR/employee portal. Most large employers use Benevity, YourCause, Bright Funds, or America's Charities
- Search "Feed America" — with EIN 92-1761881. Verify the entry shows EIN 92-1761881 before selecting
- Enter your donation details — amount, date, and proof (PayPal receipt is fine)
- Submit. Your employer's matching team processes within 30-90 days. We receive the matching gift; you receive confirmation

Frequently asked questions
Does my employer match?
Many employers match gifts to eligible 501(c)(3) charities. Check your company's giving portal under "matching gifts" or "workplace giving" for Feed America (EIN 92-1761881).
Is Feed America in my employer's portal?
Check your employer portal using EIN 92-1761881 and verify the recipient before submitting. The public Benevity profile linked above does not establish availability in every employer program. Ask your matching-gift administrator about eligibility and how to request an addition.
What's the time limit?
Usually 12 months from your original gift. Some employers (Boeing) have 90-day windows. Submit promptly.
What if my donation doesn't qualify?
Most employers exclude political campaigns, religious organizations (sometimes), and non-501(c)(3) entities. Feed America is a verified IRS 501(c)(3) public charity — qualifying for nearly every program.
