Help Transform The Food System in Washington, D.C. image

Be part of the movement to build a just food system in D.C.

Your donation helps distribute fresh produce, expand Produce Rx, and invest in community leadership.

We know that D.C. residents desire better food choices. Yet thousands of families face significant barriers to accessing fresh, nutritious food and experience disproportionately high rates of diet-related health conditions. This isn't just about food—it's about social, racial, economic, and health equity.

DC Greens is at the forefront of this movement, aiming to advance health equity by building a just and resilient food system. Founded in 2009, our vision is a capital city in which health equity is a central value, healthy food is a human right, and all residents have the resources to shape and control policies and programs for their own communities.

  6. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of Qualified Charitable Distributions. QCDs allow you to donate up to $100,000 directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualified charity like DC Greens, without having the distribution included in your taxable income. This can be particularly beneficial if you are required to take minimum distributions from your IRA, as it can fulfill your requirement without triggering additional taxes
  7. Stocks or Appreciated Assets: Not only does this method allow you to make a more substantial contribution than might be possible with cash, but it also offers you two-fold tax savings. Firstly, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes on the increase in value of your securities. Secondly, you will be eligible for a tax deduction based on the full market value of the assets at the time of the donation. This means you can give more to DC Greens while reducing your tax burden.
