A hot lunch today. A full classroom tomorrow.

    Donate appreciated stock directly and avoid the capital gains tax you'd pay by selling first, so more of your gift reaches the classroom.

Questions about giving.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

Yes. Mozambique School Lunch Initiative is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your gift is tax-deductible as allowed by US law, and you receive a receipt by email for every gift, no matter the amount.

Can I change or cancel my monthly gift?

Yes, at any time, in the Donor Portal.

  • Sign in. Every receipt email has a Go to Donor Portal button. You can also open our Donor Portal and enter your email address: there is no password, and you are sent a one-time sign-in link.
  • Change it. Open your monthly gift with View details, then choose Edit to change the amount, how often you give, the next payment date or your payment method.
  • Cancel it. Choose Cancel recurring donation. You may be offered the option to skip a few payments instead; choose Just cancel my donation to confirm, and a confirmation email follows. You can restart a canceled gift from the portal later.

If anything gets in the way, write to partner@mozambiqueschoollunchinitiative.org and we'll sort it out.
