1. What is the BIG Give Women and Girls Match Fund?
The BIG Give Women and Girls Match Fund is a seven-day online match funding campaign, running from October 10 to 17, 2024, supporting charities that work with women and girls. During this campaign, donations made to participating charities are doubled through match funding.
2. How does match funding work?
For every £1 you donate, another £1 is added by our funders. For example, if you donate £50, it becomes £100 for Global Girl Project! This match funding is made possible by champions such as philanthropists, foundations, and corporations who are committed to doubling your impact.
3. When does the campaign take place?
The campaign runs from October 10 to 17, 2024. During this time, all donations made to Global Girl Project via the Big Give platform will be matched.
4. What is Global Girl Project’s campaign target?
Our target for this campaign is to raise £5,000, which will be matched to total £10,000. This funding will go directly toward expanding our work in the Middle East, specifically continuing our efforts in Iraq and launching new programs in Iran and Lebanon, where women and girls are facing immense hardship due to wars, political instability, and anti-women’s rights policies.
5. Where do I donate to have my gift matched?
To participate in the match funding campaign, donate through the Big Give’s online fundraising platform during the campaign dates.
6. Why should I donate during the BIG Give campaign?
By donating between October 10 and 17, your impact is doubled, meaning Global Girl Project can reach and mobilise even more girls. Your support will help us reach our target of £5,000, unlocking a total of £10,000 to support our programs.
7. Who provides the matching funds?
Matching funds are provided by champions, which include philanthropists, foundations, companies, and other high-net-worth individuals. These champions commit funds to match the public donations raised during the campaign.
8. Can I share this campaign with others?
Absolutely! We encourage you to share the campaign with your friends, family, and network. The more people who donate, the greater the impact we can have. You can also follow us on social media to stay updated throughout the campaign.
9. What happens if I miss the campaign dates?
Donations are always appreciated, but to have your gift doubled, make sure to donate during the campaign window from October 10 to 17, 2024. Outside of those dates, your donation will still support our cause but will not be eligible for matching.
