Corporate Giving – The Food Trust

Invest in the power
of healthy food.

The Food Trust offers partnership opportunities for businesses of all sizes. Your company can benefit from on-site and online visibility opportunities, targeted social marketing, media promotion and employee engagement opportunities — while making a meaningful impact on nutrition security locally and nationally. We work hand-in-hand with each of our corporate partners to design customized packages that meet their marketing goals and objectives.

SPONSOR OUR FARMERS MARKETS

The Food Trust manages a network of 12+ Philadelphia farmers markets, improving access to affordable, nutritious foods and stimulating economic development in neighborhoods across the city. We offer sponsorship opportunities across our network, which includes some of the city’s largest and most popular farmers markets like Clark Park and Headhouse. By sponsoring The Food Trust’s farmers markets, your business can demonstrate its commitment to localism, community health and nutrition, and sustainability — and connect with the more than 300,000 seasonal customers who visit our markets.

MAKE AN EITC CONTRIBUTION

The Food Trust is eligible for corporate support through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. EITC gifts support our Young Children’s Nutrition Initiative, which helps young children in grades K to 3 develop an early understanding of healthy diets and nutritious foods. Businesses that make EITC donations receive a generous tax credit for donations made to eligible nonprofits: a two-year commitment can earn your company tax credits equal to 90% of your contribution and a one-year commitment will earn tax credits equal to 75% of your contribution – up to a maximum of $750,000 per taxable year. Learn more here about how your company can contribute to The Food Trust while saving on taxes.

SUPPORT THE FOOD TRUST THROUGH A CAUSE MARKETING PARTNERSHIP

By aligning with The Food Trust through a cause marketing partnership, your company can demonstrate its commitment to our mission of delicious, nutritious food for all. We’ll work with you around messaging and help you determine the best contribution model for your company — whether you donate a percentage of sales or make a contribution per product sold.
