Donating appreciated stock, bonds, or other securities is a meaningful way to support NF Midwest and may offer tax advantages. Donors may be able to deduct the fair market value of long‑term appreciated securities while avoiding capital gains tax on the sale of those assets.
Another option is a Transfer on Death (TOD) designation. By naming NF Midwest as a beneficiary on your brokerage or investment account, assets may be transferred to support our mission after your lifetime. State laws govern TOD accounts, so we encourage you to consult with your financial advisor or bank representative if you are considering this option.
To help us ensure your gift is properly credited and acknowledged, please notify NF Midwest when a stock gift is being transferred. Securities received without identifying information may delay issuance of a tax‑deductible receipt. When emailing info@nfmidwest.org, please include:
- Purpose of the gift and any special instructions
- Donor Name
- Name of the security and ticker symbol
- Number of shares being donated
- Donor mailing address for tax receipt
