ShareGift - Support us with your shares
Do you have small value holdings of shares and other investments? We know that small amounts of shares are often difficult or even impossible to dispose of usually because of the costs involved. ShareGift provides a useful solution.
Even if you have just one or two shares ShareGift can help you deal with the problem, and in a charitable way. They can also help shareholders with larger, tax-efficient donations of shares.
What is ShareGift?
ShareGift is the UK’s leading share donation charity. It generates millions of pounds in funding by pooling together and selling donated shares (regardless of how small or complex the holdings are), and then transferring them on to suggested charities. ShareGift can help convert these into charitable donations, at no cost to the shareholder or to us.
Many people don’t realise the hidden value in their forgotten shares. Whether they are:
- Too small to be worth selling individually
- Part of a deceased estate
- Large holdings in public or private companies
- A complicated share transaction that other brokers have said they cannot assist you with
Donating shares can help individuals or companies:
- Transform idle assets
- Experience potential tax advantages
- Have a direct impact on our charitable mission
- Join a community of impact
Small shareholdings often cost more to sell than they’re worth, usually due to expensive admin and transaction fees. Instead of sitting unused, these shares can be pooled together with others, sold efficiently, and then donated us.
How does it work?
- Shares are transferred to ShareGift by the donor. The donor suggest a charity that the funds should go to.
- ShareGift amalgamates these shares into profitable sales.
- ShareGift then donates the proceeds of these sales to specific charities, in the form of grants.
