Organisations working to protect the planet have a new funding opportunity through The Big Give’s Earth Raise campaign. The aim of Earth Raise is to create what The Big Give calls “the annual, defining moment for environmental fundraising” and to mobilise “millions for the planet” via high-impact charities.
The week-long match-funding drive, which will run around World Earth Day, aims to double every public donation made to eligible environmental charities.
Under the scheme, UK-registered charities whose core mission encompasses environmental work, such as biodiversity, climate change, waste, energy, transport, or pollution, can apply.
The campaign is open to organisations with a minimum annual income of £25,000 and offers two options: a 1:1 match model (public fundraising target: £1,000–£10,000) or a Pledge model (public fundraising up to £100,000, combined with a pledge fund and champion match funding).
Once accepted, charities will receive ring-fenced match funding from Champion donors which is unlocked as public donations arrive during the campaign week (22-29 April 2026).
The application window closes on 16 January 2026.
