  • Estate and gift planning is a thoughtful and strategic approach to supporting non-profit organizations, ensuring their sustainability and impact for years to come. This long-term perspective allows individuals to leave a lasting legacy while supporting causes dear to their hearts.

  • A charitable bequest, one of the simplest and most common forms of planned giving, involves designating a portion of one's assets to be donated to a non-profit organization in their will or trust – often just a sentence or two.

  • Please consult with your estate planning attorney when creating a charitable bequest. You can customize and refine the following sample language with your attorney:

    “I give (insert specific dollar amount/or percentage of my entire estate/or the residue of the estate) to The Food Basket located at 40 Holomua St. Hilo, HI 96720, EIN#26-0349475, to be used at the organization’s sole discretion to further it’s mission.”

For questions or support, please call us at 808-933-6030 and ask for the Development Department, or email us at development@hawaiifoodbasket.org.

Mahalo nui loa! We sincerely appreciate your consideration and support.
