Aims and questions

Aims and activities

Big Give, Global's Make Some Noise and NCVO want to make a big difference to small charities.

Through their Small Charity Week: Match Funding Campaign, they want to help build the resilience, skills and profile of small charities (<£1m turnover) through offering match funding to coincide with Small Charity Week 2025.

How to get involved

We are aiming to secure a minimum total of £1 million in match funding commitments to make the campaign viable (funders can support the campaign with commitments of £25,000 upwards).

We are seeking provisional funding commitments by the end of January 2025 in order for us to have enough time to launch the campaign.

Please reach out to Alex Day at Big Give to discuss further.
