Donate to ReFED
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.
