Donating Shares

If you own small numbers of shares that you consider to be of little value to yourself, donating them to Sharegift (registered charity No. 1052686) may be the best way to make the most of them and to help SANE at the same time. Selling unwanted shares through a stockbroker could cost you more than they are worth, and keeping them may mean you will receive more paperwork from the company where you bought them.

Sharegift puts unwanted shares to good use by collecting, re-registering, aggregating and selling them. The money generated is then distributed to Charities registered in the UK, and SANE has already received more than £50,000 in donations from Sharegift. Donating shares can also be a tax efficient way to give as donors can claim income tax relief on the value of the shares donated. Donating shares to Charity gives rise to neither a gain nor a loss for Capital Gains Tax purposes.
