NCVO have teamed up with the Big Give and Global’s Make Some Noise to launch a new Small Charity Week match funding campaign, created to deliver much needed funding to the sector.
This initiative will provide small charities the opportunity to apply for unrestricted funding, helping them continue delivering essential services at a time when they are under increasing financial pressure.
Applications are now open for this seven-day online campaign, running between 23-30 June 2025. Donations made during the campaign will be doubled through Big Give’s match funding model, thanks to the generosity of Champion funders, including the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. This means each pound donated goes twice as far in empowering small charities in their mission.
Charities with an annual income between £5,000 and £1 million are eligible to apply for match funding, helping them to raise vital funds and maximise their impact. Exclusions apply, see website for full details.
To help you submit the best application possible, the Big Give is hosting a webinar at 12.00 on Thursday 6 March to share hints and tips on what makes a good application. Click here to register.
Key dates:
Applications open: Wednesday 19 February
Applications close: Wednesday 2 April
Funding offers announced: Wednesday 7 May
This initiative is part of Small Charity Week, which celebrates the essential role of small charities in strengthening communities, providing training, networking and advocacy opportunities to support their resilience and sustainability. Please note that the Small Charity Week website has been updated and can now be found at smallcharityweek.org.uk.
