Details

A seven-day online match funding campaign supporting arts and culture charities working to achieve societal impact across the UK.

Arts for Impact Fund utilises the Big Give's ‘1:1’ model of match funding. Arts and culture charities apply to Big Give, and their application is assessed by Big Give and their partners, NPAC. Successful charities are awarded a sum of match funding which is ring-fenced for their organisation. This match funding is unlocked by public donations given through Big Give’s online fundraising platform during the week of the campaign (18-25 March 2025).
