Support for the Next Generation
Through its endowment and planned giving program , NTFB aims to be equipped to serve for generations to come .
NTFB is in the final year of its Nourish North Texas Strategic Plan , which began to move us toward providing our neighbors with Food for Today and Hope for Tomorrow , through programs and partnerships that focus on holistic supports targeting the underlying barriers to food security . Planning for the future was also a major component of this plan . After the pandemic and now record inflation , we know that we must be equipped to serve not just the needs of today but also those of the future .
We set a goal of $ 50 million in commitments to our Feeding North Texas Foundation , and in FY24 , NTFB surpassed the $ 43 million mark . Individuals who make the ultimate commitment of including NTFB in their wills and / or estate plan are invited to participate in the Full Plate Society . Members are acknowledged for their crucial partnership and invited to special events , such as NTFB ’ s inaugural bus tour ( learn more about that on page 16 ).
Building a Legacy Anurag Jain , chairman and CEO of Access Healthcare and Chair Emeritus at NTFB , along with Ross Perot Jr ., founder of the real estate development company Hillwood and a longtime NTFB supporter , spoke about the importance of creating a legacy during the Nov . 14 Full Plate Society Luncheon ( pictured above ).
“ Just as my parents taught me , we need to be intentional about what we are teaching our children because instilling legacy into future generations is paramount ,” Anurag said . “ Children are like sponges and if you don ’ t teach them , they will only glean information from their environment .”
