A seven-day online match funding campaign supporting arts and culture charities working to achieve societal impact across the UK, run in partnership with New Philanthropy for Arts & Culture (NPAC).
Arts charities are in need of urgent support. Arts and culture play a crucial role in communities, from improving mental health to enhancing social skills. This newest campaign is dedicated to supporting arts and culture charities across the UK, ensuring they can continue to make a profound societal impact.
Arts for Impact Fund utilises our ‘1:1’ model of match funding. Arts and culture charities apply to Big Give, and their application is assessed by Big Give and our 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.
