Learn how you can support Feeding Matters as well as get personal benefits with options beyond direct giving.

Mercer Advisors is a proud sponsor of Feeding Matters and champions its mission to improve the lives of children with pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). As an independent, SEC-registered investment advisor (RIA), we have an obligation to always operate in your best interest.

Charitable giving can provide immediate and long-term rewards for causes close to your heart. It can also offer benefits to you and your family, such as legacy building and tax deductions.

To choose a way to give that feels right for you, here are some options for supporting Feeding Matters:

• Using a Donor-advised fund (DAF)
  A DAF is one of the most flexible and tax-efficient ways to give. You can receive an immediate tax deduction for donations of cash and securities into the fund. Your contributions can grow tax-free in the investment account until you make recommended grants to an IRS-qualified public charity like Feeding Matters.
• Qualifying for an Arizona Charitable Tax Credit
  If you live in Arizona, you can direct dollars to Feeding Matters and receive a state tax credit — essentially allowing you to support the organization without increasing your overall tax bill.
• Setting up recurring monthly gifts
  Small, consistent contributions add up. Monthly giving provides Feeding Matters with predictable support and helps you stay connected to the mission year-round.
• Establishing planned giving
  By including charitable gifts in your estate plan — through a will, trust, or beneficiary designation — you can create a lasting legacy and help reduce estate taxes for your heirs.
• Donating stocks
  Donating appreciated securities instead of cash can help you avoid capital gains tax and maximize your charitable impact.
• Volunteering your time or pro bono skills
  Your expertise and energy can be just as valuable as financial contributions. Consider offering professional services or hands-on help.
• Hosting an impact party
  Bring friends and family together to learn about a cause and pool resources for a greater collective impact.
