Launching World Earth Day 2026, Earth Raise Live will become the landmark annual moment for environmental fundraising. Uniting cultural icons, musical talent and environmental leaders, the live event will inspire audiences across the UK, while driving millions of pounds in donations for vital environmental causes – supercharged by the Earth Raise match funding campaign running in tandem with the event.

To bring our vision for Earth Raise Live 2026 to life, we’re seeking Brand Champions to help make it happen. We’re looking for key sponsorship partners to launch the event, media partners to help us reach millions across the UK, and philanthropic support to fund our incredible charity partners working to protect and preserve our planet.

In April 2025, Big Give gathered over 250 stakeholders (media industry/corporates/impact partners/philanthropists) to launch Earth Raise Live. The event was hosted by Annie Mac and included performances from Aisling Bea and Declan McKenna, amongst others. The event unveiled our vision and rallied key supporters to drive lasting change for environmental causes.

In 2021, Big Give and EFN partnered to launch the Green Match Fund with a straightforward proposition: we curate a portfolio of high-impact environmental charities, and for one week, starting around World Earth Day, we double donations made to these charities through match funding secured from philanthropists and funders. Since its launch, the campaign has raised millions for environmental charities doing essential work for our planet. But we know there’s so much more to be done.

Now, as we prepare for the groundbreaking Earth Raise Live, we’re rebranding the Green Match Fund to Earth Raise — a bold new name for a bold new chapter in environmental giving.
