Stock gifts

Stock gifts
Donating appreciated assets, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, is a tax-advantaged opportunity for donors to support Nexus Family Healing.
Individuals can avoid capital gains tax by donating stock, as opposed to selling it and contributing cash. Because there are no capital gains taxes to pay, donors can contribute a greater amount, and, thereby, have greater tax deductions from their income taxes. Discuss the potential benefits with your financial advisor.
Step 1: Provide your broker with the following information:
Nexus Foundation for Family Healing
505 Highway 169 N
Suite 500
Plymouth, MN 55441
- Nonprofit status: IRS 501(c)(3) organization
- EIN (Federal Tax ID): 83-2534015
- Account Title/Registration: Nexus Foundation for Family Healing
- Account Number: 637560857
- Name of Receiving Institution: National Financial Services, LLC
- DTC Number: 0226
According to IRS Guidelines, the date and value of your gift are determined by the date on which Nexus Foundation for Family Healing takes control of the securities.
Step 2: Email Nexus Foundation for Family Healing: [email protected]
Stock transfers do not include the name of the donor when they are received. Sending the following information ensures appropriate recognition and designation of your gift.

IRA gifts

IRA gifts
IRA owners aged 70 ½ years old or older may use a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD) to donate up to $108,000 (2025) to qualified charities directly from their account. Because the amount donated through a QCD counts toward Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), it helps exclude taxable income, reduce tax liability, and potentially satisfy all or part of an individual’s annual RMDs. A QCD can exceed the RMD amount for the year so long as it does not exceed the annual limit. Talk to your financial advisor for more details!
