When you donate your shares to ShareGift, they re-register them and collect them into holdings that are large enough to sell. They then give the proceeds to a range of UK registered charities, including CLIC Sargent. So far CLIC Sargent has received over £30,000 from ShareGift. This is an amazing amount and we are incredibly grateful for their support.
If you are a UK taxpayer you can claim income tax relief on the value of shares donated to charity. In addition, donating shares to charity gives rise to neither a gain nor a loss for Capital Gains Tax purposes.
If you have shares that you would like to donate, you can contact ShareGift for a donation coupon:
- By post: 17 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AH
- By phone: +44 (0)20 7930 3737
- Or visit their website at: http://www.sharegift.org/ and download the coupon.
When people donate their shares to ShareGift, they are welcome to suggest a charity or cause that they support. ShareGift uses this information when choosing charities to support. Mentioning that you support CLIC Sargent may help us to receive donations from ShareGift in the future.
If you would like any further information on larger gifts of shares please contact the CLIC Sargent Trust Fundraising team on 0117 311 2600.
Please note that we cannot give financial advice.
