A Big THANK YOU for wanting to donate to Oxygen!
Donate before the 10th December and your gift will be doubled at no extra cost to you!
Our Target is £4000
Oxygen is be part of the Big Give Christmas '24 Campaign. Their match funding campaigns offer a unique opportunity for you to double the difference you can make in the world for the causes close to your heart like Oxygen. The idea is to promote giving by match funding any donations received during a campaign. People are more likely to give if they know the it will be matched.
How does it work?
-
Only donations via BigGive.org will be doubled: We can only match fund donations made through your Christmas Challenge campaign page on the Big Give website using a valid debit or credit card from midday Tuesday 3rd December to midday Tuesday 10th December.
-
We can only accept donations via debit card, credit card or Apple or Google Pay and BACS: We cannot match fund donations on other websites or donations made offline, eg. cheques, CAF payments, etc.
-
For donations of £500 or more, donors can also choose to use the BACS donation option (please ask donors to set this up as soon as possible if they want to use it as BACS transfers can sometimes take some time. We will not match any BACS transfers that reach us after the end of the campaign).
-
Please do not contact us requesting us to match or add in offline donations, such as cheques. We cannot facilitate these types of donations. All Big Give campaigns are digital fundraising campaigns and they are designed for charities to only receive online donations via their Big Give campaign pages.
-
Match funds for donations are reserved for 30 minutes: Donors must complete their donation within this time for their donation to be matched. If this time expires, a pop-up will appear notifying the donor and letting them know they can continue with an unmatched donation or start again to make a matched donation (we cannot guarantee there will be match funds available if they start again). If you have any major donors waiting until the last day to make a donation to help you reach your target, don't leave it to the very last minute for them to make a donation; allow a couple of hours of buffer time in case they experience any issues when trying to make a donation.
-
You pledge a minimum of £100 to the campaign
-
The BIG give decide if they will match fund the amount pledged by Oxygen supporters.
-
We launch the campaign in December to recruit donors and hopefully match your pledges.
-
The Big Give matches the amount raised and you give your pledge to Oxygen.
What are Pledges?
-
Pledges are part of the matching pot. They count as promises of funding that can be unlocked by Oxygen through online donations raised during a campaign. Their funds could be worth up to 4x for Oxygen, so there is a great reason to ask!
-
All pledge forms must be completed by 11pm Sunday 8th September, to participate in the campaign.
-
Pledges are promises of funding that contribute to your matching pot and must be secured by 11pm Sunday 8th September.
-
Oxygen needs to secure a minimum of £1000 in pledges to be eligible for Champion funding. As long as we secure £1000 in pledges, we will still be eligible for Champion funding up to the amount of pledges we have secured.
-
Pledges must not be paid to Oxygen until after the campaign has ended - they are conditional funding which we redeem according to how we perform in the campaign.
Who can make a pledge?
-
Pledges can be made by individuals or organisations, including Trusts, Foundations, corporates/businesses, trustees and supporters.
-
The minimum individual Pledge amount is £100.
-
Pledges will be paid to Oxygen in whatever way you (the Pledger) would like (after the campaign has ended) (eg. BACS, cheque, CAF, etc.).
So why not act now, make a pledge and change a young person's life through Oxygen?
