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 in June 2025.
Match funding is proven to encourage more people to give and people to give more. Big Give campaigns are a great opportunity for charities and they will gain access to a suite of free NCVO training and resources and can grow their donor base as a result of participating.
How to get involved
We are aiming to secure a minimum total of £1 million in match funding commitments to make the campaign viable. We have already secured over £500,000 of match funding. We are seeking funding commitments from £25,000 upwards by April 2025. Demand from the sector has already been significant.
