How It Works
- 1
YOU GIVE
You decide if you want to donate a percentage of your annual portfolio gain to your chosen charity when opening your account. If you make no gain you make no donation.
- 2
WE GIVE
Greenfinch will donate the same percentage from our fee. If there is no gain and therefore no donation from you, we will still donate the percentage of our fee.
The Benefits
Choice
You choose which charity receives a donation.
Simplicity
A clear and convenient donation process.
Partnership
The shared commitment with us leads to higher overall donations.
Tax Relief
You may be able to claim tax relief on your charitable giving.
Flexibility
You can readily change your charity of choice, the percentage you give or opt out completely at any time simply by advising us.
Gift Aid
Gift Aid registered charities can benefit from an increased tax efficient donation so long as you are happy for us to provide the charity with your details.
Transparency
We will provide you with a letter each year to outline clearly; the calculation, the payment and confirmation of the donation and with your prior approval, your chosen charity will receive confirmation of; your name, address and appropriate details in relation to potential HMRC Gift Aid reclaim, so the charity can increase your donation by 25%.
