Big Give - Small Charity Week

Small charities are the heartbeat of communities, tackling social challenges and transforming lives with limited resources. Our 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.

• UK-registered charities with a Charity Commission, OSCR or NI Charity Commission number. Charities with tax-exempt status will not be eligible. Find out more about tax-exempt status – https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/exempt-charities-cc23/exempt-charities)
• Must have a minimum annual income of £5,000 and a maximum income of £1m (as per at least one years filed accounts or one year’s recorded income on the Charity Commission).
• Charities seeking to raise either £500, £1,000, £2500, £5,000, or £10,000 in public donations (to be doubled by the match funds). Charities are limited to apply for Champion funds which are a maximum of 10% of their annual income.
• Small charities that are looking for funds to support people and communities in the UK.
• Funds may be applied for in relationship to specific projects or core costs. In the latter case, the impact and legacy of the charity’s work as a whole should be included.
• Charities in receipt of funding from Global’s Make Some Noise, after June 2025, are not eligible to apply for the campaign.
