Matched Giving

Double the impact of your donations with Matched Giving

Matched giving is an incredible way to amplify your fundraising efforts for Brain Tumour Support (BTS). By leveraging your employer’s matched giving scheme, you can multiply the impact of your contributions and make a greater difference for individuals and families affected by brain tumours.

How does it work?

Start by checking with your Manager, HR team, or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Manager to see if your workplace offers a matched giving program. Policies vary—some companies may match your total fundraising amount, while others set specific limits.

If your workplace doesn’t currently have a scheme, why not advocate for one? Alternatively, suggest a one-off corporate donation to support our life-changing services.

Let us know about your matched giving

If your employer agrees to match your fundraising, please inform us. Some companies may send their contributions directly to Brain Tumour Support, and we’ll ensure their generosity is acknowledged. We’ll confirm your fundraising total with a letter or email and send a thank-you note to your employer as a token of our appreciation.

Together, we can achieve more.

Share your fundraising journey with us! We’re here to support you every step of the way as you help create meaningful change.

Bring Sparkle into your workplace

Sparkle Day is our biggest community fundraising day of the year — and it’s perfect for businesses. Whether it’s a glittery coffee morning or a sparkly dress-down day, it’s simple, fun, and morale-boosting.

With Matched Giving, your company can double the impact of every pound raised, turning a £250 fundraiser into £500 of support for families affected by brain tumours.
