Investing in ReFED is an investment in a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive food system.

Help us make a difference! Together, we can create a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive food system that feeds people, not landfills.

Eliminating food waste is more critical than ever to address the looming climate emergency it is contributing to and to sustainably feed the growing population.

Your support and contributions enable ReFED to lead the food waste movement and serve as a resource driving action across our food system.

As ReFED celebrates our 10th anniversary in 2026, your support can go even further thanks to a generous matching gift from the Robert Wilson Charitable Trust*.

Our 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator and Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid mean that you can donate with confidence! We're also proud to be a partner of 1% for the Planet.

About the Match

*The Robert Wilson Charitable Trust will be matching all donations of $5,000 or less, up to a total of $100,000 for:

  • First-time donor to ReFED
  • Previous donors who increase their 2025 giving by at least 50%
  • Previous donors who made a gift in 2024, but not in 2025.

Unsure if your gift to ReFED will be matched? Reach out to yoni.auerbach@refed.org to confirm.
