More Ways to Give

IRA Gifts, Stock, and Donor-Advised Funds

For most of us, giving means writing a check or tapping a button online. But if you're at or near retirement age, hold stock that's grown in value, or already have a donor-advised fund, there may be a simpler, more impactful way for you to help feed children through MANNA's nutrition centers this year. Here's what those options are, who they're for, and how to get started.It's just one more way to be part of what God is already doing through local churches and their communities around the world.

What are these giving options?

• A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). If you have an IRA, a QCD lets you send money directly from that account to MANNA instead of taking it as income first. It's a way of giving from savings you may not otherwise touch, rather than from your regular budget.

• A gift of stock. If you own stock, mutual fund shares, or other securities that have grown in value since you bought them, you can give those shares directly to MANNA instead of selling them and giving the cash.

• A gift from a donor-advised fund (DAF). If you already have a donor-advised fund, whether through Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or another provider, you can recommend a grant to MANNA directly from that fund.

Why these ways to give?

Each of these options can make your generosity go further, and often make giving simpler too, another way to steward what you've been given with purpose.

• A QCD can count toward your required minimum distribution for the year, and it isn't added to your taxable income the way a regular IRA withdrawal would be.

• A gift of stock lets you give the full current value of the shares, and you may be able to avoid the capital gains tax you'd owe if you sold the stock yourself first.

• A DAF gift is often the fastest of all, since the funds are already set aside for giving. It can be as simple as logging into your DAF account and recommending a grant.

Every situation is different, and the details of how these benefits apply to you depend on your own finances. MANNA isn't able to provide tax or legal advice, so we always recommend talking with your financial advisor or tax professional before making a gift this way.

Who can use each option?

• QCD: IRA owners age 70 1/2 or older (check the current IRS rules for the exact age and annual limit, since these can change)

• Gift of stock: Anyone holding stock, mutual funds, or other securities that have grown in value

• DAF grant: Anyone with an existing donor-advised fund through a provider like Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or a community foundation

If you're not sure which of these applies to you, Tami O’Neal or William McLemore are happy to walk through it with you personally. No pressure, just a conversation.

How to give this way

To give through a QCD:

1. Contact your IRA custodian (the company that holds your IRA) and let them know you'd like to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution.

2. Provide them with MANNA's legal name and mailing address: MANNA Worldwide, Inc., 3000 Wingate St., Fort Worth, TX 76107 and our tax ID: 75-2931604.

3. The funds must be sent directly from your IRA to MANNA, not to you first, for it to qualify.

4. Let Tami O’Neal know a gift is on its way to t.oneal@mannaworldwide.com or 817-346-3641, so we can watch for it and send you a proper acknowledgement.

To give a gift of stock:

1. Contact Tami O’Neal at t.oneal@mannaworldwide.com or 817-346-3641 to let us know you're planning a stock gift.

2. We'll send you MANNA's brokerage account transfer details: Charles Schwab, Account Name - MANNA Worldwide Inc., Account Number - 8860-4173, Instructions/Memo - Donated to*** (specify any designation).

3. Give those details to your broker to initiate the transfer.

4. Let us know the name and number of shares so we can confirm receipt and send your acknowledgment. Stock transfers can take a few days, so please start this process by December 15, 2026 to ensure it's completed by year-end.

To give through a donor-advised fund:

1. Log into your DAF provider's website or contact them directly.

2. Recommend a grant to "MANNA Worldwide," using our tax ID: 75-2931604.

3. You're welcome to designate the gift toward nutrition centers specifically, or leave it unrestricted.

4. If you'd like us to know a grant is coming, reach out to Tami O’Neal at t.oneal@mannaworldwide.com.

However you give, it opens the next nutrition center

Whether it's a check, a QCD, a gift of stock, or a grant from your donor-advised fund, your generosity is what makes it possible for a child to walk through the door of a nutrition center and be known by name. Thank you for considering one of these ways to help us feed more kids this year, and to walk alongside the local pastors and leaders who already know them by name.
