An Interview With Kerry Whitlock, director of major gifts, Friends of the World Food Program

Friends of WFP was incorporated in 1995 to provide a tax-deductible means for donors to contribute to the United Nations World Food Program (donations to a U.N. agency are not tax-deductible under IRS regulations). For the first few years, Friends had no office or staff — donations were processed by a WFP official in New York.
