Gift for Life unveils top donors

Gift for Life revealed its list of leading 2023 donors, recognizing 45 individuals and companies — each who has given between $500 to $10,000-plus, during this calendar year.

The announcement is part of Gift for Life’s new tiered donor recognition program launched during the industry’s summer 2023 markets.

“The gifts received from our industry partners are the lifeblood for organizations like World Central Kitchen,” said Ari Lowenstein, chair of Gift for Life. “Recognition of the manufacturers, sales agencies, market-makers, trade media and individuals who support Gift for Life across multiple markets is long overdue. This new tiered recognition program allows Gift for Life to recognize our most consistent and generous supporters for their philanthropic contributions.”

Recognition tiers include three Diamond Donors ($10,000+); six Platinum Donor ($5,000+); three Gold Donors ($3,000+); 13 Silver Donors ($1,000+) and 19 Bronze Donors ($500+).
