We invite you to join us in building a better Lake County by making a gift of grain – a charitable giving option for farmers and landowners. Your gift will support the Lake County Local Food Fund. The Lake County Food Fund focuses on sustaining local farmers and growers, addressing root causes of food insecurity, and lowering barriers to access healthy food in Lake County, Indiana.

Contact us prior to your gift, if you would like to use the value of the grain to start an endowed fund in the name of your family, for a specific nonprofit organization important to you, or to support charitable causes in your community.

By gifting grain to Legacy Foundation, you avoid including the sale of the grain in your farm income and taxable income is reduced. Farmers may realize savings on federal and state income tax and self-employment tax and can still deduct the costs of production.

Each farmer’s circumstances are unique. Contact your financial or tax adviser to determine whether a contribution of commodities is best for you.
