What is a Charity Fund and Share Account?

The Charity Fund and Share account is available for charities registered with the Charities Commission. It is a simple way to make the most of your charity's assets.

If your charity is not registered with the Charity Commission please contact our helpdesk on 0117 900 9000 prior to submitting your application form as you may need to accompany your application with further documentation.

Benefits of the Charity Account

  • Automatic Charity tax exemptions

    With the Charity Account your charity will benefit from automatic exemption from paying Stamp Duty on share purchases. In addition you will receive comprehensive half-yearly reports showing the transactions over that period, along with a tax certificate in Spring each year, making administering your charity's investments easy.

  • Wide investment choice

    You can make your own investment decisions and choose to invest in over 3,000 funds, thousands of UK, US and European shares, exchange traded funds (ETFs), corporate bonds, gilts and more to suit investment requirements. Please note, all investments can fall as well as rise in value.
