Employer Matching Gifts

Employer matching gift programs offer a powerful way to double or even triple your impact in the fight against hunger in Los Angeles. By submitting a simple request to your employer after making a donation, you ensure that the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank receives additional funds to support those in LA County facing food insecurity. Because the Food Bank is exceptionally efficient—with 96% of all contributions going directly to programs—a matched $100 donation can translate into hundreds of meals for children, seniors, and families.

Volunteer Matches

Many companies offer volunteer grants, often called “Dollars for Doers,” which provide a financial match for the hours you spend at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Organizations like Bank of America, for example, allow employees to earn grants of up to $1,000 per year by logging their volunteer time. Because the Food Bank can provide meals for every $1 donated, a match for just a few hours of sorting or gleaning can significantly amplify your impact on our neighbors facing food insecurity in LA County. 

To participate, use the search tool above to see if your employer translates your volunteer sweat equity into a monetary gift.

Payroll Giving

Workplace giving through payroll deductions is a seamless way to provide steady, year-round support to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. By authorizing a small, recurring contribution to be taken directly from your paycheck, you can spread your impact across the year without the need for manual payments or large one-time checks. These contributions are highly efficient, meaning even a $5-per-pay-period deduction can provide hundreds of meals to children, seniors, and families across LA County over the course of a year. Furthermore, because these gifts are often managed through an employer’s charitable giving portal, they are typically pre-logged for tax purposes and can frequently be matched dollar-for-dollar by your company, instantly doubling the volume of food your generosity provides to the community.
