Giving Day is one of the most exciting moments in our calendar – a day when our whole community comes together to celebrate, give, and make something powerful happen.

Matching gifts and challenge funds are at the heart of this momentum. By setting up a match or challenge, you help spark generosity across the community – encouraging others to get involved, give sooner, and give more.

What Could This Look Like?

There are many ways to set up matches or challenges on Giving Day, tailored to what matters most to you, but some examples could include:

• Match gift: A £10,000 - £20,000 match that doubles donations made to support Giving Day – encouraging others to give and boosting momentum throughout the day.
• Participation challenge: A £7,500 gift unlocked when 150 donors take part – helping bring more people into the campaign.
• House challenge: A £5,000 challenge unlocked if 75 donors support a specific house – tapping into house pride and a bit of friendly competition.
• Student-powered challenge: A £2,500 fund unlocked as students complete a collective challenge – such as a run or musical performance – bringing the community together and inspiring a surge of giving.

Big or small, these moments of generosity help bring Giving Day to life – building excitement, participation, and impact across the community.
