Feeding America

Feeding America is a non-profit organization which works closely with the private sector, and has a mission to feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engaging the US public, private, and government agencies. It is the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the US.

Feeding America is a good example of a non-profit which actively seeks private sector partnerships, offers them a variety of opportunities to partner with the project, and publicizes their involvement clearly in all of their publications.

On its website, the Partners page lists major US corporations which provide a variety of support mechanisms from direct funding to in-kind contributions. There are a variety of partner levels of involvement. For example, the Mission partners make aggregate contributions or commitments of $500,000 or more, donations of 5 million pounds or more of food and grocery products, or combined gifts of $250,000 or more and 2.5 million pounds or more of food and grocery products. The Guiding Partners make aggregate contributions or commitments of $250,000 or more, donations of 2.5 million pounds or more of food and grocery products, or combined gifts of $150,000 or more and 1.5 million pounds or more of food and grocery products. On the website, as you hover over each company name you can read what that particular company has provided.
