Raise more for Christmas

27/11/2008

The Big Give has created an exciting way to make your donations go further this December. The fundraising scheme supported by The Reed Foundation could raise an additional £1 million for UK charities. Matched donations from the Reed Foundation will start on 1st December 2008, after 9am, at which time a large "double your donation" will appear next to all eligible charities on the www.thebiggive.org.uk website.

You can now link directly to our charity page on the Big Give website through the
following link: http://www.thebiggive.org.uk/charity.php?charity_id=4959

There are three limits to the amount of matched donations charities can receive.

• Matched donations for all charities will stop when £1million has been donated.
• Matched donations will stop for each charity when they have received a total £20,000 from the Reed Foundation.
• Matched funding will be limited to £5000 per donation and up to a total of £20,000 per donor.

Donors may give over these limits, but the excess will not be matched.
All Double Your Donation facilities will be removed as soon as £1 million has been donated through the site. The donate online facilities will remain.

Donations must be made online via credit or debit card ONLY. The following cards are accepted:

A Gift Aid option will be included on the online donation form.
Please note: The Reed Foundation will match the donation amount before Gift Aid is added.

Charities Trust, the donation management agency used by The Big GIve, charges 4% of the total gift (including Gift Aid if applicable). This is inclusive of all bank and card processing charges and is deducted before they pass the monies to the charity.
