2026 Plan Sponsor of the Year awarded to FMSC

Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is honored to be named a winner of the 2026 Plan Sponsor of the Year, a national award for excellence in employee retirement plan design and administration.

Out of 193 nominees and 56 finalists, FMSC was one of 14 category winners, taking first place in the “Nonprofit DC <$150M” category.

Four features that set FMSC’s retirement plan apart

PLANSPONSOR recognized FMSC’s strong commitment to helping employees achieve retirement readiness through thoughtful plan design and generous support. Here are four key strengths of our plan design:

1. Easy enrollment: Enrollment is automatic after a short eligibility period, making it easy to start saving.
2. Immediate vesting: Employer matching contributions are immediately vested, giving employees instant ownership of those funds.
3. Low fees: FMSC covers the majority of administrative costs, enabling employees to keep more of their retirement savings.
4. Personalized retirement support: The default investment option provides personalized guidance and automatically adjusts over time to help employees stay on track toward their retirement goals.

Excellent employee benefits are an essential part of nonprofit work

FMSC is about children’s hunger relief, but that mission would be hindered if those hired to carry forward the work are not cared for.

Laura Kern, FMSC Vice President of Human Resources, explained the heart behind pursing excellent retirement benefits. “As we seek to be faithful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us, investing in the well-being of our staff directly advances our ability to carry out this mission.” Kern also recognized Melissa Orrey, FMSC Benefits Manager, for her thoughtful work in shaping the program.

Providing well-compensated Christian nonprofit jobs

As a top Christian nonprofit dedicated to feeding God's children hungry in body and spirit, FMSC depends on passionate employees to advance its mission around the world. By attracting and retaining talented employees, FMSC is better equipped to serve food distribution partners, support volunteers and feed children around the world.
