ShareGift Australia is an easy and convenient way for shareholders to donate their shares to charities and eliminate the administration of managing small holdings. Companies also benefit, by reducing the costs of shareholder communications.

ShareGift Australia works proactively with companies in many ways, for instance by including information about their services in different kinds of shareholder communications.

Working directly with companies and their registrars is an important aspect of ShareGift Australia's work.

ShareGift Australia can also assist companies with:

  1. Developing communications materials for annual reports and shareholder correspondence;
  2. Incorporating the donation process into other strategic social reporting initiatives and activities;
  3. Solutions for rounding balances and lost or unwanted shareholdings;

Participation in the donation process also provides companies with the opportunity to project a philanthropic presence into the community. ShareGift Australia's relationships with charitable, cultural and not-for-profit entities can assist companies in developing strategic associations that may complement existing corporate social responsibility and philanthropic activities.

ShareGift Australia can provide companies with an alternative to shareholder consolidation programs and share buyback schemes. Companies can present their shareholders with a cost-free, simple and tax-efficient solution for handling small holdings while reducing the costs associated with maintaining shareholder communications and share registries. Shareholders who convert their share holdings for the benefit of Australia's community sector can realise potential tax benefits, without paying brokerage.
