Mark Your Calendars for 17 October When ‘Grow Your Tenner’ Starts

This year the campaign has a match fund pot of £200,000, with £100,000 for matching one-time donations and £100,000 for matching monthly donations.
The online match funding campaign will open at 10am on 17 October and run until midday on 16 November 2017 or until all of the money has been allocated, whichever comes first.
During this time, Localgiving will double all donations up to £10 that are made to local charities and community groups registered on its website. Any charity or community group in the UK that has signed up to receive online donations on Localgiving may participate. (It is important to note that only new monthly Direct Debits that are set-up during the campaign will be eligible for match funding. Existing Direct Debits made through Localgiving will continue as normal. Direct Debits set up before 17 October (10am) will not be matched, even if the first payment is due to be made after the start of the campaign.)
It works like this: One-time donations made to a Localgiving member charity or community group through the Localgiving website during the campaign will be matched pound-for-pound by up to £10. Monthly donations set up during the campaign will be matched by up to £10. The matching will take place after the first six donations, and be applied to the following six donations.
Each charity or community group that is a member of Localgiving has a maximum of £5,000 match funding available to them through the campaign. This includes £1,000 from one-time donations and £4,000 from monthly donations. Donations to the charity will be matched until their limits are hit or match funding has run out, or the campaign ends.
Groups that are interested in participating may be interested in Localgiving's free webinar series which will start on 21 September and run each week until the last one of 12 October. The webinars begin at 1pm and run for about half an hour.
In addition Localgiving is producing a range of resources to help members make the most of the campaign.
Localgiving is a not-for-profit organisation which charges fees that are then used to cover its costs. The list of fees can be found on the Fees page of its website.
