Patron Society Giving

Patron Society Levels

Patron Society donors are a vital part of Giving Kitchen’s success, offering sustainable support to ensure no eligible food service worker is turned away. 

It’s our pleasure to thank our Patron Society donors and recognize their generosity.  

Review the levels on this page to find the opportunity that aligns with your goals.  

Patron Society membership is based on cumulative giving over a calendar year. Membership can be met through a single gift or multiple contributions throughout the calendar year. Any donor whose total donations reach a Patron Society level during the calendar year will be eligible for membership. All memberships will be honored on a calendar-year basis during the following calendar year (For example: If membership is met in June 2026, membership will begin Jan. 1, 2027 and remain active through Dec. 31, 2027). Donors who make a multi-year commitment to Patron Society will be recognized at the cumulative level of their total commitment for the entirety of that period (For example: A 2-year commitment of $10,000 per year will be recognized at the $20,000 Leader level for both years of membership). While gifts may be fulfilled through multiple installments, contributions such as auction purchases, event tickets, or other non-deductible transactions cannot count toward Patron Society membership.

Contributions from Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), Family Funds, or other Charitable Accounts cannot receive goods, services, or experiences that provide a personal benefit. These gifts must be fully charitable with no associated benefits or privileges. To receive tangible Patron Society benefits (such as event invitations or swag), gifts must be made via personal payment method: credit card, personal check, or ACH bank transfer. Patron Society gifts made through Charitable Accounts forfeit all tangible benefits but may still receive name recognition as a Patron Society member.
