Donate your shares

Thousands of people own shares they're not sure what to do with. Sometimes they can’t sell them, because the transaction fees would be more than the value of the shares themselves. 

Why not put them to good use by donating them to help everyone affected by MS? 

How to donate shares to the MS Society

The easiest way to donate your shares is through the share donation charity ShareGift. All you need to do is:

1. Contact ShareGift and tell them you'd like to donate shares to the MS Society. You can call them on 020 7930 3737 or email [email protected].
2. Email [email protected] to let us know you've donated shares. This is so we can link ShareGift’s donation with you.

If you'd rather give your shares directly to us, and your shareholding is worth more than £5,000, we'd be happy to accept them.

Why should I donate shares to charity? 

• A donation of shares can be a very tax-efficient way to support us. There's no capital gains tax to pay on share donations. And if you're a higher or additional rate taxpayer, your share donation will qualify for income tax relief. Please consult your tax advisor for advice on your personal situation.
• ShareGift’s supporters in the financial services industry have waived all fees, so there's no charge either to you or us.
• ShareGift takes care of all the admin for you.
• There's no upper or lower limit to the number and value of shares they'll accept.
• ShareGift often rounds up the grant to the charity, maximising the impact of your gift.
