Shares

Do you have any shares that would be uneconomic to sell? Help support RNC by donating your small shareholdings to ShareGift, the share donation charity. RNC received £2,500 from ShareGift back in 2019 as a result of shares donated and you could help us access further grants to support our vital work.

ShareGift specialise in accepting small shareholdings that would cost more to sell than they are worth, generating substantial funding for charities when amalgamated. ShareGift make their grants based upon a variety of factors including the suggestions of their donors so do mention RNC if/when you make your gift.

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can also claim income tax relief on the value of most stocks and securities when you donate them to charity (see below for more information). In addition, donating shares charitably gives rise to neither a gain nor a loss for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes.
