Share Giving
Since April 2000, there has been a new tax incentive to make share giving even more attractive. If you give shares to Village Aid you can claim back tax relief in full against the value of those shares.
Perhaps most of us don’t see ourselves as shareholders, yet in reality through “windfall” shares, acquired through privatisation or demutualization many of us are. Or you may own small parcels of shares, perhaps as a result of an inheritance, that you regard as a bit of a nuisance as they generate more paperwork than income. These could be turned into something of real value to others by donating these shares to Village Aid.

If you would like your shares to transform the lives of rural Africans please get in touch for more information.
