Big Give has just received notification from its partners at the Disasters Emergency Committee [confidential] that they will launch an appeal this week to support The Middle East Humanitarian crisis. Therefore, Big Give will launch an emergency match fund to support the DEC and its member agencies in responding to this humanitarian emergency.
Despite extraordinary challenges and risks, DEC member charities have demonstrated their ability to deliver lifesaving and life-sustaining aid in Gaza, reaching a level that now warrants a national appeal. With the conflict escalating in Lebanon, causing massive displacement in an already fragile country, a DEC appeal is now more urgent than ever.
Big Give has a strong track record of supporting DEC in their emergency appeals having raised £2.2m following the Turkey-Syria earthquake in 2023 and £3.8m following the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine in 2022. Match funding is a proven method to encourage more people to give and for people to give more.
We’re sharing this with you in case you are considering supporting this humanitarian crisis and would like to maximise the impact of your gift by routing it through Big Give as match funding and/or in case you can share with others that might be interested. Match funding commitments start at £10,000 or more. If you are interested, please reach out to champions@biggive.org. Thank you.
