THE BIG GIVE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE

This year, India Dhamma Trust is applying to take part in the BigGive’s Christmas Challenge https://www.thebiggive.org.uk/christmas-challenge/

The Challenge works by acquiring pledges to match gifts made to the charity on a specific week in November/December. These gifts may be matched again by The BigGive’s own philanthropist Champions, meaning the potential for gifts made in that week to be quadrupled.

We are hoping to acquire pledges to matchfund (send no money now) amounting to £2500.
