Small Charity Week Match Campaign

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 apply to Big Give and their application is assessed by Big Give and our 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.

Organisations should be:

• UK-registered charities with the Charity Commission
• Have an annual income of at least £5,000 and a maximum income of £1m
• Be 'working to support people and communities'
• Be seeking to raise at least £500 and up to £10,000 in public donations (to be doubled by match funds).

Funds may be applied for in relation 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. Capital projects will not be funded.

The match funding campaign will run from 22–29 June 2026, aligning with Small Charity Week.

Applications close at 5pm on 11 February 2026.
