Our take
Givematch is a giving platform that harnesses the power of social to enhance the effects of charitable donations. When people donate through the platform, they receive a link to share with friends, family or followers. Then, when two people donate through the link, their original donation is doubled through the company's matching system.
As well as allowing individuals to supercharge their donations, this approach is also appealing to charities and the organizations looking to donate to them. By fundraising on the platform, charities can benefit from the so-called "ripple effect" that encourages word-of-mouth to create a larger pool of donations. Businesses, meanwhile, can heighten the impact of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, as well as track and measure this impact to inform future strategies. So far, Givematch's collaborative ecosystems have raised more than £10 million for UK charities.
With this innovative approach, Givematch stands out from other giving platforms for effectively harnessing the social era towards doing good. It boasts an experienced group of Match Fund and Donor Advised Fund partners, and it will be interesting to watch how the platform and business, striving for growth at present, develop in the future.

We exist to make a positive difference in the world of giving and fundraising by caring deeply about our users and the causes they care about, always seeking to go the extra mile. This means building genuine connections, delivering meaningful results, and always keeping the goal to make a meaningful change in mind.

- 🧹 Mop The Floor means doing what needs to be done, no matter the task, to help the team succeed. It's about taking ownership, always having your hand raised, and going beyond job titles to make an impact. “Not my job” isn't in our vocabulary - we value a hands-on, can-do attitude where everyone steps up, tackles challenges, and supports each other to reach shared goals.
- ⚡ Forward Momentum is about taking swift, impactful action. We seize opportunities, make decisions, and focus on progress over perfection. Everyone is empowered to take ownership and find the best path to results, avoiding overthinking and zeroing in on what actually moves the needle. In our fast-paced environment, we step up, keep momentum, and make every effort count.
- 🌱 1% Better Everyday is about embracing a growth mindset and striving to be incrementally better each day - individually, as a team, and as a company. We tackle challenges head-on, learn from our experiences, and stay curious, always seeking new ways to grow and develop. By fostering a culture of learning, adaptability, and open-mindedness, we support each other in reaching our full potential and pushing the company forward. Complacency has no place here.
- 🛠️ Delight Our Customers means keeping our donors and charity partners at the heart of what we do. We work to understand their needs and challenges so we can solve real problems and make a meaningful impact. We aim to deliver exceptional experiences and create lasting value that benefits them. We listen to their feedback, empathise with their goals, and use these insights to guide our work - always aiming to exceed expectations. While we focus on what matters to them, we're committed to innovating and finding the best ways to serve everyone involved.
