About the Big Give

The Big Give makes it easy for you to find and support charities and projects that suit your interests. Essentially, the Big Give is a search engine and a secure way for you to give to the charities of your choice. However, we believe that the Big Give goes far beyond the provision of a donation platform.

We aim to:

• Promote intelligent giving
• Make your donation go further than ever before
• Help you find and support new charities by giving more than just money

We acheive this by running several programmes, including our Christmas Challenge and Trustee Finder. To learn more about these opportunities, please select from any of the options below:
