Share Giving

Donating shares is a simple and effective way of giving to charity - with tax advantages making it an attractive alternative to more traditional methods of support.

When you donate shares to charity you become eligible to claim full tax relief equal to the market value of the shares and any associated costs such as broker’s fees. So, for example, if you’re a higher rate taxpayer and you give £1000 worth of shares to charity, you may end up paying £400 less income tax that year.

Whether you’re tidying up your investment portfolio or you just feel this is the most convenient way for you to give, donating shares to Crusaid will help us to continue our vital work both in the UK and Internationally.
