Case Study: Midwest Food Bank achieves streamlined noncash donations and faster fundraising with iDonate

Midwest Food Bank Amplifying Donor Growth with Non-Cash Giving

Midwest Food Bank, a large U.S. hunger-relief organization that has grown since 2003, faced a rising need to process noncash gifts (stocks, estates, vehicles) as digital and alternative giving increased. Before partnering with iDonate, Midwest Food Bank had no mechanism or standardized form to accept and manage these types of donations across its locations.

iDonate provided an online giving form and full-service handling for noncash gifts: donors submit gift details, iDonate takes ownership, sells the items, and remits proceeds to Midwest Food Bank. This solution enabled Midwest Food Bank to begin accepting a wider range of donations across all sites, convert noncash gifts into usable funds for its mission, and streamline operations—prompting praise for iDonate as an easy, effective technology partner.
