Stockholm University collaborates with the organization Myriad USA (formerly King Baudoin Foundation United States).

Commemorative or celebratory donation 

You can choose to make a commemorative donation or make a gift to celebrate somebody on a special festive day. Stockholm University will acknowledge the gift in a letter including the person’s name, and, should you wish, a personal greeting from you. The amount of the donation will not be included in the letter. 

Please state the amount of the donation, the name of the person you wish to celebrate, your own name, the address of the recipient of the letter, and a greeting (should you wish this to be included). Please also indicate if you wish to make the donation for a specific purpose. If all the information does not fit on the bankgiro slip or in the text box assigned for messages in your internet bank, please contact us.

Donation by inclusion in a will 

By including Stockholm University in your will, you can also give future support to research which you find important. If you wish to discuss what you want to support, you are welcome to contact us. We suggest you seek the assistance of a lawyer to make sure your will is legally valid. 

Donation through dividends on shares (non-taxable) 

If you own shares as a private individual, you can make a non-taxable donation of the dividends to Stockholm University. This applies to dividends of both listed and non-listed companies, such as close companies. Please note that legal persons cannot transfer dividend rights exempt from taxes. 

The value of the money you donate to support Stockholm University will be higher than the amount which would have been at your disposal. The dividend tax is normally 30 per cent for listed shares. However, if you donate the dividends to Stockholm University, the full sum will be paid to the University.

Practical information

Decide which dividend/s you will donate and how much of the dividend you wish to donate. You do this by asking your bank to open a securities account (“värdepapperskonto”) with Stockholm University as the recipient of the returns. NB, Stockholm University must have been made the recipient (rights holder) of your dividend no later than one week before the record date of the dividend company. 

If you already have a securities account

In order to donate the dividend, you must change the information about the recipient of the dividend (“rights holder”) to Stockholm University. Fill in the form "

Anmälan om rättighetshavare/gåvomottagare för vp-konto docx, 36.5 kB. (the form is only available i Swedish) (Notification of rights holder/recipient of donation for securities account) and submit it to your bank.

If you are a client with Aktieinvest (Aktiespararna), Avanza or Nordnet, you can make the notification directly on their websites.

If your deposits are already managed by a bank or a stockbroker 

Get in touch with your bank or stockbroker for information about points of relevance in your particular case.

If you want to donate dividends of shares in an unlisted company 

The company making the distribution can issue dividend coupons. The coupon confers the right to the dividend for the current financial period. For further information, contact your bank or stockbroker.

Your income tax return

The Swedish Tax Agency will receive information about the donation from your bank. You can provide information about the donation under additional information in your income tax return. We suggest you keep copies of the records concerning the donation of dividend rights, if questions should arise at a later stage. 

If you are a shareholder in a close company recognizing dividend on form K10, the following applies: Dividends which have been gifted may be included in the scope for dividends (“sparat utdelningsutrymme”) of the following year. Consequently, a corresponding dividend a later year will be liable to low taxation.
