Big Give, Global’s Make Some Noise, and NCVO have announced the launch of their yearly Small Charity Week match funding campaign.
This seven-day online campaign aims to support small charities, helping to build the resilience, skills, and profile of the small charity sector while raising vital, unrestricted funding.
To be eligible, charities must have an annual income between £5,000 and £1 million (as per at least one year’s filed accounts or one year’s recorded income on the Charity Commission).
How does it work?
Small Charity Week utilises their ‘1:1’ model of match funding.
Small charities apply to Big Give and their application is assessed by Big Give and 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.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 11 February 2026.
