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. other charities with similar names network

Feeding America Texas (our sister, EIN 92-1776845) is distinct from Feeding Texas (Austin), which is a separate, unaffiliated state-network 501(c)(3). Similarly, Feeding America Florida (our sister, EIN 93-3176598) is distinct from Feeding Florida (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.
