DOUBLE THE IMPACT OF EVERY DONATION!

We are thrilled to announce that we are doing a Crowdfunder with Big Give Arts for Impact – raising funds for our free Art and Learning programme.  This means that every £1 we raise between March 18–25, 2025 will be matched pound for pound—up to £10,000.  

This is a huge opportunity for Saxmundham and Suffolk, allowing us to double the impact of every donation to support arts-led programmes that transform our community. 

Key Dates to Remember 

March 18–25, 2025 – One week to raise £10,000, which will be matched to £20,000 

We’d love to discuss how you or your organisation can be part of this exciting campaign. Please feel free to call us on 07921 770421 or email Tor@the artstation.uk

Who is The Big Give and how does match funding work?

The Big Give is a platform that facilitates online match funding campaigns. When a member of the public donates to a participating charity (e.g. The Art Station), a pre-committed funder (like a philanthropist or foundation) will match that donation, essentially doubling the impact of the public’s donation. 

So for every pound donated, the funder contributes an equal amount, effectively making the donation worth twice as much.
