For businesses in St. Paul and beyond, giving back to the community can be both rewarding and strategic. Supporting Nourish – whether through financial contributions or food donations – not only helps address food insecurity, but also brings meaningful benefits to your company.

1. Tax Benefits: Smart Giving with Financial Rewards

   Donating to Nourish can help your business make the most of available tax incentives:

   • Enhanced Deductions for Food Donations:
     Businesses donating wholesome food may qualify for enhanced tax deductions, making it easier to put surplus food to good use and reduce waste.
   • State-Level Incentives:
     Minnesota offers additional tax benefits for charitable giving, further rewarding businesses that invest in their local community.As always, we recommend consulting your tax professional to maximize these opportunities and ensure compliance.
