The BigGive Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest collaborative fundraising campaign, championing a wide range of charitable organisations. Whatever the cause, from global poverty to gender equality, from climate change to mental wellbeing, every donation has the power to be doubled. Enabling thousands of charities to make an even bigger difference.

Our campaign page is now open for those who wish to contribute to our Global Botanic Garden Fund. The GBGF drives plant conservation, especially focusing on under resourced gardens from high biodiversity areas of the world. The fund disburses between 30-40 grants per year, each individual grant ranges from USD$1,000-10,000 (depending on the grant). To date, BGCI has disbursed 180 grants totalling USD$631,000.

We are delighted that The Reed Foundation are generously providing matched funding for all donations made to our Big Give campaign. The campaign will run between 3rd December – 10th December 2024.
