Time is running out to make your 2023 tax-deductible gift!

It’s the time of year to anticipate cooler weather, make holiday plans with our loved ones, and to plan ahead for year-end giving!

Charitable gifts received before, or postmarked, by 12/31, are tax-deductible in the year they are made. Below are five easy ways you can make a year-end gift in support of our mission!

  • Gifts of appreciated stock are the perfect way to invest in Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee!
  • If you have an IRA and are over age 70 1/2, you can make gifts of up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee tax-free.
  • If you have a Donor Advised Fund, you can recommend a gift to Meals on Wheels PLUS before year end. Programs needing immediate funding include:
    • The Food Bank of Manatee: Mobile Produce Pantry and general bulk-food purchases for Food Pantries and Partner Agencies, Emergency Baby Baskets (diapers, wipes, and formula)
    • Home-delivered Meals: Produce on Wheels and Nutrition Addition Supplemental Food Program
    • Friendship Dining Centers for programming needs
