Underused Tax Credit Rewards Iowa’s Growers for Fresh Food Donations
April 14, 2015
An underutilized state tax incentive helps growers maximize their contributions to participating food
banks and pantries, giving the gift of fresh and healthy food to Iowans who need it most. The Farm to
Food Tax Donation Credit allows taxpayers to receive a 15% tax credit, up to $5,000, in return
for fresh produce, meat, and other wholesome food items donated during the tax year.
The Drake University Agricultural Law Center has prepared a set of documents, available
at www.law.drake.edu/aglaw, to help producers and food organizations understand and use the
Farm to Food Donation Tax Credit.
