March Match Fund at Localgiving.com

From 9am on 1 March, the localgiving.com March Match Fund will match all donations made to charities in England until their fund of £375,000 is allocated.

Gift Aid will add an additional 25% to donations made by UK tax payers at no extra cost to the donor. Localgiving.com is a platform enabling local organisations to take advantage of the fundraising potential of the internet. A social enterprise owned by the Community Foundation Network and the Ardbrack Foundation, it is targeted at smaller, local charities and is the only platform approved by HMRC to allow people to donate to unregistered organisations using Gift Aid.

In recognition of the gap they are helping to address, the platform is being supported by the Office of Civil Society, who will provide the £375,000 match funding during the month.
