Feed America launches state-attributed sister 501(c)(3) entities for Texas and Florida

Feed America (EIN 92-1761881) announced today the launch of two state-attributed sister 501(c)(3) public charities to serve donors who specifically need state-only legal-entity recipients for their giving:

• Feeding America Texas — EIN 92-1776845, headquartered in Houston, TX, serving food-assistance directory needs across all 254 Texas counties
• Feeding America Florida — EIN 93-3176598, headquartered in Miami, FL, serving food-assistance directory needs across all 67 Florida counties

Why state-attributed sister entities

Some donors — particularly state-affiliated foundations, state corporate-giving programs, and state-only DAFs — require recipient charities to be incorporated within a specific state. Feed America (the parent, Texas-incorporated) qualifies for Texas-restricted gifts but not Florida-restricted gifts. The sister 501(c)(3) entities solve this by being independently incorporated in each state.

For maximum impact, donors should generally give to the parent Feed America (EIN 92-1761881) rather than the state-focused sisters. The state sisters exist for state-attributed flows where the donor's restriction makes the parent ineligible.

Sibling clarity vs. larger Feeding America network

Feeding America Texas (our sister, EIN 92-1776845) is distinct from Feeding Texas (EIN 74-2217832, Austin), which is a separate state-network 501(c)(3) under the larger separately-incorporated Feeding America (EIN 36-3673599, Chicago). Similarly, Feeding America Florida (our sister, EIN 93-3176598) is distinct from Feeding Florida (EIN 59-2079763, Tallahassee). The names are similar but the entities are legally separate.

Each sister entity has its own Candid Platinum profile, its own Form 990, and its own dedicated landing pages at /texas and /florida.
