Big Give, Global’s Make Some Noise and NCVO are championing small charities across the UK, through a seven-day online match funded campaign.

Small charities are the heartbeat of communities, tackling social challenges and transforming lives with limited resources. The inaugural, Small Charity Week match funding campaign will help to build the resilience, skills and profile of the small charity sector whilst helping them raise vital, unrestricted funding to further their impact.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Small Charity Week utilises a ‘1:1’ model of match funding. Small charities apply to Big Give and their application is assessed by Big Give and their partner, Global’s Make Some Noise. Successful charities are awarded a sum of match funding which is ring-fenced for their organisation. This match funding is unlocked by public donations given through Big Give’s online fundraising platform during the week of the campaign.
