"ShareGift does a great job, matching the needs of charities for funds with the inconvenience of maintaining very small holdings of shares."
Dame Clara Furse
Former Chief Executive, London Stock Exchange

ShareGift offers companies and their shareholders a unique solution to the long-standing problem of unwanted odd lots of shares.  Not only do we provide an invaluable resource in disposing of the nuisance of a small shareholding and its attendant paperwork, but the outcome is a new multi-million pound funding stream for UK charities.   

ShareGift is an easily-understood way for small shareholders to dispose of unwanted shares for charitable benefit, and can be incorporated into Company Annual Reports or other shareholder communications in a variety of ways.  A growing number of companies now include ShareGift in their communications in order to tidy up their share registers without alienating their small shareholders.  A key benefit resulting from this good corporate housekeeping is significant savings in the cost of shareholder communications.

ShareGift has worked with the Treasury and HM Revenue & Customs on guidelines for share giving, and is now recognised by the corporate world as the solution to the problem of odd lots of shares.  ShareGift has been deployed at some level by more than half of the FTSE 100, as well as very many smaller companies.  Feedback from companies and their shareholders shows how much they value this convenient and charitable way of disposing of unwanted shares.
