The Big Give - The Women & Girls Match Fund
Created: 12/03/2025The Women & Girls Match Fund is a seven-day online match funding campaign working with exceptional charities dedicated to serving the women and girls in our communities, fostering a future where every individual can thrive without limitations.
The funding campaign is for charities that are working to improve the lives of vulnerable, disadvantaged, or under-represented women and girls in England and Scotland.
The women and girls sector is grappling with rising challenges and receives only 1.8% of UK grants from Trusts & Foundations. Big Give's campaign aims to address this by empowering women and girls charities to excel in digital fundraising. They are passionate about helping women and girls to dream freely, achieve proudly, and live boldly. By enhancing digital fundraising skills and confidence, they aim to drive greater support and recognition to these vital projects.
The Women and Girls Match Fund utilises Big Give's ‘1:1’ Model of match funding. Women and Girls charities apply to Big Give and have their application assessed. 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 campaign.
