The Big Give
With The Movements Trust
If you've been approved for charitable sponsorship through us, we may be able to support you in making an application for the Big Give Christmas Challenge.
The Big Give Christmas Challenge
This matched funding campaign is managed and offered by The Big Give
Please visit their web page for eligibility details and guidance
The Movements Trust are open for expressions of interest (EOI) for this campaign in the form below. You'll need to be approved for charitable sponsorship through us before you can be put forward to The Big Give. EOIs without our approved charitable sponsorship will be rejected. (Contact us together@themovementstrust.org if you're unsure).
The information here will tell you about our Big Give process for consideration and also The Movements Trust role and limitations as a charitable sponsor. Please read this before completing the form below.
As a designated registered charity we are only allocated one spot from The Big Give for each of their campaigns.
Because of the high demand and limited space, we can only put your movement forward once to allow opportunity for others we work with. So be sure you're ready for the Christmas Challenge with an initial donation pledge, a strong supporter base, and the capacity to deliver your communications strategy to boost donations.
If you're not ready now, come back to this page to be considered for one of the future Big Give campaigns at the end of this page.
