Shareholders often do not bother selling odd lots of shares because the value of the holding doesn’t warrant the effort of the transaction. ShareGift USA provides a simple way for them to donate their small shareholdings to charity. By giving these shares to ShareGift USA, a 501(c)3 charity, eligible donors will receive a tax deduction, contribute to society and deal with these small shareholdings. Importantly, donors will be part of a collective giving effort, a new force in American philanthropy. While individual philanthropy has long been considered the purview of the wealthy, ShareGift USA allows individual donors to leverage their assets by pooling their gifts for greater impact.

Interested donors should contact us if they would like to donate shares. ShareGift USA will provide the necessary paperwork to effect the transfer and enable donors to put their shares to good use. Please contact us at donations@sharegiftusa.org or 212 813 9677 about the form of your donations. ShareGift USA will also provide documentation required for tax purposes.

Privacy Policy

ShareGift USA will only use the information shareholders give it (and any information provided in the future) to carry out the transfer of shares. It will not disclose this information to any other person or organization except in connection with the above purposes. ShareGift USA will only contact shareholders if questions arise about their donations of shares.

 

Many people find themselves with small amounts of corporate stock due to mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, inheritance or stock dividends. Individuals who hold or receive minor amounts of shares may wish to identify an easy and efefctive way to put them to good use.
