So that we can ensure that all Members of the Churchill College community stay healthy and safe, things will look a little different when you next come to College. But you can find everything you need to know on our new Coronavirus Guidance page From the latest research from the University to what you should do if you have symptoms, and from the provision of College services to minimising the risk of transmission, you'll find all the answers to your questions here.
We welcome gifts of listed shares and securities which attract relief from Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax. Gifts of land or property made during a donor’s lifetime attract the same tax incentives as gifts of shares, and other forms of non-cash gift (such as works of art, books, manuscripts and equipment) may also be considered as gifts to Cambridge.
Please see below for an example of the tax benefits of donating shares. Any UK listed shares and securities can be donated. The extra advantage is that a donor can claim capital gains tax even after having used CGT relief elsewhere, as well as income tax relief.
To donate shares to the College please contact the Development Director on 01223 336197
The process of donating shares can take a few days as we need confirmation in writing from the donor and to our brokers, Charles Stanley, in order to make the shares transfer from the donor account to the College’s share account. Our normal practice is to sell shares upon transfer though we may retain them in exceptional circumstances- to enquire please contact the Development Director, as above.
