Big Give Trust

Big Give Trust pioneers innovative match funding to multiply charitable impact, strengthen organizational resilience, and cultivate collaborative philanthropy across all sectors. Founded on a vision of efficient donor-charity connections through digital platforms, its core values emphasize donor amplification, public engagement, capacity building, and evidence-led generosity. Believing change accelerates via matched crowdfunding that unlocks new supporters, fosters sustained growth, and empowers charities with fundraising tools, training, and marketing resources, it drives decisions prioritizing high-reach, resilient interventions over traditional grants.

It supports broad thematic campaigns addressing poverty relief and financial hardship for families in crisis, homelessness prevention and shelter services for individuals experiencing housing insecurity, mental health support including counselling, peer support groups, and therapeutic activities for those facing anxiety, depression, or isolation, education access and youth development through after-school clubs, mentoring, skills training, and employability programs for young people aged 16-25 at risk of exclusion, environmental action via green initiatives and climate resilience projects, gender equality through women and girls' empowerment programs tackling domestic abuse recovery and opportunity barriers, health services encompassing clean water access and complex health needs interventions, arts and creative activities for social cohesion, international development for refugees and humanitarian relief in emergencies, and community-led services like food insecurity programs, carer support, and social isolation reduction for elderly residents. Interventions favor preventative early action, community outreach, holistic person-centred approaches, and unrestricted core costs alongside project-specific work to build long-term sustainability.

Distinctively generalist with no sector exclusions, it prioritizes grassroots youth projects, global environmental efforts, and vital social services for diverse beneficiaries including children, families, carers, disabled people, ethnic minorities, refugees, homeless individuals, and care leavers, spanning UK-wide and international communities. Unlike direct grantmakers, it uniquely leverages champion-matched public donations for amplified reach, rejecting standalone capital projects and favoring digital-first, collaborative platforms that demand robust due diligence and evidence-based practice for maximum donor-charity synergy.
