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 2026 Christmas Challenge

Christmas Challenge 2026

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.

Because of the high demand and limited space for this campaign, we can only put your movement forward once to allow opportunity for others we work with. So be sure you're ready for the crowdfunding 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.
