This year, our Christmas Challenge will feature a record amount of “Champion” match funding! In addition to our existing Champion funders, we're actively recruiting new trusts & foundations, companies, and philanthropists to join our campaign. Here are some of the benefits our Champions enjoy: > Every £1 invested is multiplied at least twice, often as high as 4 or 5 times, to support the charities and causes you care about most. > Big Give campaigns provide charities with opportunities to build their resilience, skills, and profile. Your support helps them thrive long-term. Charities gain access to free training, resources, and can grow their donor base by participating. > You have full control of selecting your portfolio from our pre-screened charities. We handle the relationships, reducing the burden on philanthropists and grant-makers, and providing opportunities to reach new charities without additional resources.

The Julia Rausing Trust has been established in memory of the late British philanthropist Julia Rausing, who died in 2024. In memory of Julia's exceptional commitment to women's and girls' causes, we are proud to announce that The Julia Rausing Trust has committed £2 million to support women and girls charities through Big Give. This funding will be transformational in supporting charities dedicated to serving the women and girls in our communities, James Reed CBE, Chair of Big Give, said, "This is a remarkable legacy and supremely generous at a time when so many organisations urgently need support. The generous funding awarded to Big Give will make a significant impact on women and girls charities, driving meaningful change and empowering communities. We are inspired by Julia’s vision and grateful for the opportunity to further her mission." Hans Rausing, The Julia and Hans Rausing Trust, shared: “The Julia Rausing Trust is a fitting legacy to Julia’s philanthropic vision and has been established to support causes that were close to her heart. I hope that the Julia Rausing Trust will bring awareness to her generosity, demonstrate the important work philanthropy does, and support causes and organisations which are the backbone of our society.”
