“Leaving a gift of shares to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance is a way in which you could help have a lasting effect on the charity and the people of Yorkshire.”
Over 12 million people in the UK own shares and the value of those are estimated to be approximately £200 billion.
WHY DONATE SHARES TO YORKSHIRE AIR AMBULANCE?
Giving a gift of shares will help the charity to save lives and also attracts generous tax relief for the donor too. For donors with investments, a gift of shares is a very effective way of making a donation to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance because their donation will be eligible for income tax relief and exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Also a gift during your lifetime or in your will would be exempt from inheritance tax. You should consult your accountant on the specific tax implications of any gift.
The Yorkshire Air Ambulance benefits from receiving the gift of shares, which we can then keep or sell in accordance with our fundraising strategy.
