What’s New
Small charity is the heartbeat of communities, tackling social challenges and transforming lives with limited resources. The Small Charity Week match funding campaign helps to build the resilience, skills and profile of the small charity sector whilst supporting them to raise vital, unrestricted funding to further their impact.
How does it work?
Small Charity Week utilises our ‘1:1’ model of match funding. 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.
Who can apply?
UK registered charities who are working to support people and communities, and have an annual income of at least £5,000. You should be seeking to raise at least £500 and up to £10,000 during the campaign week.

Charity Eligibility Criteria
- UK-registered charities with the Charity Commission, OSCR or NI Charity Commission number. Charities with tax-exempt status will not be eligible. (Find out more about tax-exempt status).
- Have an annual income of at least £5,000 and a maximum income of £1m (as per at least one year’s filed accounts or one year’s recorded income with the Charity Commission, OSCR or NI Charity Commission).
- Charities that are working to support people and communities.
- By “people and communities” we mean charities working to provide shelter and safety, supporting physical and/or mental health, developing life skills, reducing isolation and/or improving inclusion.
- For this year’s Small Charity Week campaign, there will be two streams of funding:
- a) UK (funding managed by Global’s Make Some Noise). Charities in receipt of funding from Global’s Make Some Noise, after June 2025, are not eligible to apply for the campaign.
- b) International (funding managed by Big Give Trust). We will prioritise funding for charities working in countries in the lowest quartile of the United Nations’ Human Development Index (Positions 145 to 193). Charities working internationally must comply with the relevant regulator’s guidance on protecting charities from harm. More info is available in this support article (opens in a new tab).
- Charities seeking to raise at least £500 and up to £10,000 in public donations (to be doubled by match funds provided by our Champion partners).
- Charities are limited to apply for Champion funds, which are a maximum of 10% of their annual income.
- 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.
