gold account
A Stewardship gold account makes it simple and easy to make large gifts to support the causes that matter most to you.
You may be a higher rate tax payer looking for tax-effective ways to give to charity, be considering alternatives to a charitable trust, or perhaps you have a single, large amount that you wish to donate.
A gold account is the single place for all your tax-effective giving with no need for trustees or annual returns, and no legal costs.
how it works
A gold account works in a similar way to a bank account...
A gold account works in a similar way to a bank account. You make gifts into your gold account and whenever you want to support a charitable cause, simply request a donation from your account.
You can open your account with a single lump sum of £10,000 or more, and then add further amounts as you wish. Credit your account using credit or debit card, Direct Debit cheque or bank transfer. You can also make gifts of shares or investments into your gold account.
