The beneficiaries will be selected by NEST's clients to support local charities in cities where their partners are based.

Irving-based Michaels Stores, Inc. selected Boys & Girls Clubs of America to receive a share of the donation. Through their "NEST Nurtures" philanthropic program, NEST is committing over $70,000 to charities in 2020.

"During this unprecedented time in our nation, we want to work with our partners to give back to their communities and support charities who are doing important work right now," said NEST CEO, Rob Almond.
