We are generous
We believe in giving. It feels good and achieves more. At the heart of our charity is the idea of a ‘Generosity Multiplier’. We want to multiply the goodwill of thousands of people, funders and charities to make double the difference.
We are purposeful
Everything we do is driven by our commitment to create meaningful impact. We’re proud to be the UK’s leading match funding charity, helping to double the difference and support our partners to make a positive change in the world.
We are trustworthy
Our established systems, connections, and expertise make all our work possible. We want to go above and beyond to ensure we’re doing everything possible to make giving easy for everyone and make your donation have double the impact.
We are together
Our desire to connect charities, champions, and the public inspires our activities. We know that great things can happen when we all come together. We bring together a community of generosity from larger donors to small, so no matter the need or where in the world, we’re united to create a better and more sustainable future for us all.
In 2007, our founder, Sir Alec Reed, had a big, pioneering idea: that whatever cause you support, whether ending global poverty or promoting gender equality, from climate change to mental well-being, your donation is doubled if you give through Big Give, enabling thousands of charities to make an even bigger difference.
It’s an idea that has already raised over £360m for thousands of charities, but the world needs more, so we’re aiming even higher! It’s a big ask. But it’s possible when people come together through Big Give. We’re asking people not just to make a difference. But to make double the difference.
Together, we’ve helped provide the vital resources our charity partners need to change lives for the better. Since Big Give began, we’ve supported life-changing projects, empowered communities across the UK and beyond, and enabled thousands of donors to double their impact through the power of match funding.
