Donating Shares

Launched in 1996, the scheme specialises in accepting unwanted small holdings of shares that would cost more to sell than they are worth. ShareGift has already given away nearly £3M to date to a rapidly increasing number of local and national charities.

ShareGift can accept any number of shares. All you need to do is send your share certificates to ShareGift. They will re-register and combine shares, sell them and distribute the proceeds to charities including the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. ShareGift can also help you make a larger gift of shares to charity.

There is no charge to you or to the Fund for using ShareGift.

Tax Relief

Donating shares to ShareGift gives rise to neither a gain nor a loss for Capital Gains Tax purposes. Individuals can also now get income tax relief for most gifts of shares to charity.
