Big Give and the Environmental Funders Network established the Green Match Fund in 2021. The proposition was simple. We curate a portfolio of high-impact environmental charities. Then for one week, launching on World Earth Day, we double any donation made to these charities thanks to match funding we secure from philanthropists and funders like People’s Postcode Lottery, Garfield Weston Foundation and others. The campaign has grown year on year and has raised more than £15m for hundreds of environmental charities.
In 2025, Big Give plans to scale the Green Match Fund by significantly increasing public awareness of the campaign by uniting cultural, musical and environmental talent in one broadcastable event on World Earth Day 2025: creating the ‘Comic Relief’ for the climate. For this to work, we need funders, sponsors and partners in place by the end of the year.
Our speaker, Alex Day, CEO, Big Give, shares more about the Green Match Fund and how funders can get involved.
