An asset shared

You can gift shares or share dividends to Merlin, whether you are a shareholder, an employee in a company share scheme or a company secretary.

This can be a tax-effective way to give, especially for higher rate tax-payers (you can claim full tax relief to the market value of your shares). Merlin is happy to accept donations of shares, large or small. Even if you own shares that are not worth selling then they can still benefit Merlin (we will put you in touch with ShareGift, an organisation which specialises in accepting shares of low value).

Please remember to mention Merlin as a beneficiary and add our charity registration number (1016607) when you send your shares to ShareGift.
