Share giving
Large value
Small value
Whether you would like to donate a large number of shares, or a small number of shares that are uneconomic to sell, Ovarian Cancer Action can benefit.
Large Value shares
There are now generous tax incentives for both individuals and companies to give shares to charities such as Ovarian Cancer Action, allowing you to claim income tax (or corporation tax) relief on the value of most shares and securities donated. They are also exempt from capital gains tax.
This means you can claim tax relief equal to the market value of the shares on the day the gift is made. The relief is against the donor's income tax for that year. For example, if you give Ovarian Cancer Action £1,000 worth of shares, and are a higher rate tax payer, you will pay £400 less income tax that year.
If you wish to donate shares to Ovarian Cancer Action, please get in touch with info@ovarian.org.uk or call on 020 8238 7605.
Small value shares
There are very many people in the UK, who have tiny share holdings that are uneconomic to sell. The charity ShareGift collects these shares, and then makes a donation to a range of charities, which have all been suggested by the supporters.
It's an easy process to donate shares, just download our Share Gift form, fill it in, and return it along with the appropriate share certificates to:
