Giving shares to Vitalise is one of the most tax-efficient ways to contribute to our work.
When you make a gift of shares to a registered charity it is free from capital gains tax, and you, as the donor, can claim income tax relief on the value of the donated shares. This tax relief applies regardless of the total value of the shares, so it is a very effective way of giving.
How do I donate shares to Vitalise?
We are happy to guide you through the process of giving shares. For help and advice in donating shares direct to Vitalise please email Tony Parker, call 020 7017 3442 or choose submit an online enquiry.
If you have only a few shares to give, particularly if the value is less than the costs of selling,it will be more effective to donate the shares to Sharegift. This charity amalgamates small share holdings and then sells through advantageous arrangements with brokers, the proceeds all being donated to charities. Vitalise has received regular donations from Sharegift, and you can nominate Vitalise to receive a gift when you donate shares.
