How it works

The Christmas Challenge is The Big Give’s annual matched funding event. Online donations must be made via TheBigGive.org.uk between the 5 and 9 of December. Donations made during this time will be matched by a combination of pledges donated by our major donors and The Big Give’s Philanthropist Fund.

For example, if you donate £25* to Tearfund during the Christmas Challenge Week, a further £25 will be released from the matching funds to double your donation!

How to donate

Visit TheBigGive.org.uk from 10am on Monday 5 to Friday 9 December and make a donation online.

The Christmas Challenge will be paused each day when that day’s matched funding has been exhausted. If you try to donate during this time you will receive a clear message saying that matching has been paused. If this is the case, just come back at 10am the next day.
