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.

DAF gifts can be made payable to Nexus Foundation for Family Healing and mailed to:

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!

Legacy giving

Your thoughtful planning and generosity can impact children and families for years to come.

A legacy gift can positively affect your current and/or future finances, sometimes providing tax advantages, helping you increase your income, and enabling you to provide for yourself and your family—while also supporting the Nexus mission, now and into the future. There are a variety of ways to support Nexus Family Healing through planned gifts including:

Bequests, Wills, and Living Trusts
Designate Nexus Family Healing as an account beneficiary
Establish a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)
