CropGifting is a tax-efficient way for growers to donate a portion of their harvest to the Fresno Mission through their fund. We partner with foundations that take ownership of the commodity and sell, then deposit the net proceeds into a fund which you can use to donate to the Fresno Mission.
How this benefits both you and the Fresno Mission:
- Gifted crops are not recognized as income on your Schedule F.
- Production expenses related to the donated crop are deductible on your Schedule F in the year paid.
- Federal, state, and self-employment taxes are not assessed on the value of the donated crop.
- Gifting crops can have greater tax advantages than post-sale cash donations.
Contact our Chief Development Officer, Desmond Camacho, and he will walk you through the steps to donate a percentage of your crop.
