£1m in matched donations offered by website

Professional Fundraising

The Big Give has announced a pound-for-pound matching offer which will launch on Monday.

Donations of up to £5,000 made via the website will be matched by the Big Give until a £1m donation by the Reed Foundation, runs out.

While original predictions from within the Big Give estimated it could take months for the fund to dry up, a spokeswoman told Professional Fundraising that some have suggested the full £1m could go within hours.

The matched funding offer will launch after 9:30am on Monday December 1.
