Giving Tuesday at Manna

November 3, 2022 by Nora Finnerty

Our ‘What is Essential?’ Campaign

It’s not how much we give, its how much love we put into giving!

This Giving Tuesday, November 29th, Manna’s goal is to raise $30,000 to keep our Community Center open during the coldest months and give them the essentials that they need including a healthy meal 6 days a week. We are asking our donors and community to support us in this effort by donating to our “What is essential?” Giving Tuesday Campaign.

It is with donations from our supporters, like you, that Manna will reach our Giving Tuesday goal and will be able to keep us providing the essentials to our guests throughout the winter!

But you don’t have to wait until November 29th to give, you can help us reach our Giving Tuesday goal right now by donating below!

Giving Tuesday 2020

November 30, 2020 by admin

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. GivingTuesday was born and incubated at the 92nd Street Y and its Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact in New York City. GivingTuesday is now an independent nonprofit and a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to give.

Manna is on track serve over 43,500 meals this year, which we are able to accomplish because of our donor’s support during our fundraising campaigns like #GivingTuesday. We are dedicated to continuing our battle against local food insecurity, one lovingly crafted meal at a time. Can we count on your support this Giving Tuesday?

Ways to Donate

Is my donation tax deductable?

Yes, Manna Soup Kitchen Inc. 48 Elm St., Northampton MA is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. EIN# is 33-1064237

Can I use Bank Transfers?

Use your bank’s “Bill Pay” feature to designate Manna as the payee and schedule a one-time or recurring transfer of funds for a certain amount. Your bank actually sends us a check by mail and we then process it just like any other check we receive during the week.

Can I give Stock?

Charitable contributions of stocks, bonds, and other appreciated securities may provide you a maximum tax benefit. Typically deductible at the market value on the date gifted, your contribution of securities allows you to avoid capital gains tax on any appreciation.

Can I use my Life Insurance policy as a vehicle to give?

Life insurance is a great vehicle to use in making a planned gift. Naming Manna as a beneficiary assures that an intended amount (or percentage) of money will go to Manna. As long as the premium is paid up, the face amount will be paid. Insurance can be beneficial to donors with large estates (and trusts) who wish to protect their assets for family and charity.

How can I use my Retirement Plan to give?

Your retirement assets, accumulated over many years and invested in tax-deferred accounts, could ultimately be a large portion of your estate. You may wish to explore the benefit of designating Manna as a primary or secondary (after your spouse) beneficiary on your retirement plans.

Employer Matching Gifts

Many public and private companies match their employees’ contributions to non-profits. Checking with your employer could double or even triple the value of your gift to us.

Bequests

In addition to being the most common form of planned giving, a bequest to Manna helps to insure our future without affecting your current personal finances. Donors have many options in determining how to leave a bequest to provide for maximum estate tax charitable deductions and benefit to Manna. Bequests to Manna Can Take Several Forms: an outright monetary bequest a percentage of an estate a specific asset, such as personal or real property a trust created in a will a contingent beneficiary, i.e., Manna receives the assets if there are no surviving beneficiaries
