The Big Give Christmas Challenge launches 14th year of matched funding

The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest online matched funding campaign. It offers the supporters of hundreds of participating charities the opportunity to have their donation doubled during the annual campaign running for the 14th year 30 November – 7 December 2021.

This year, over 900 charities are participating in the campaign which will support a huge variety of causes – from small local organisations to large international charities, helping those that need it most, including refugees, children, older people and animals.

The Christmas Challenge was launched in 2008 by Sir Alec Reed, founder of Reed Recruitment. Last year, the campaign raised £20.1m for 764 charities.

Match funding is provided by a range of philanthropic organisations, called ‘Champions’ including the Reed Foundation, the EQ Foundation, Candis, The Childhood Trust, The Hospital Saturday Fund, The Julia and Hans Rausing Trust, and many more.
