The Big Give

Online funding site for charitable projects in the UK and worldwide, including in thematic areas related to environment and development

Principal Office: UK

The Big Give is an online platform of several thousand charitable projects in thematic areas that include environment and animals, emergencies and development, and several others. Donors view the project profiles and make funding contributions through an online process.

Most listed charities are based in the UK, although the Big Give allows charities in other countries to register if they are approved by the UK’s tax authority (i.e., HM Revenue and Customs).
