Why give a major gift?
By donating £5,000 or more, you’ll play a bigger part in shaping a world which works better for everyone.
That could be a multi-year commitment of unrestricted funding via our Big Change Network, or it could be a one-off donation to a specific area of our work that matches your own priorities and preferences.
In every case, your significant donation will mean we can plan further ahead and act quicker and more effectively to help people in poverty to change their world. It also gives you the chance to be more involved with Practical Action.
We build close, long-term relationships with the people who choose to support us with gifts of £5,000 or more and provide them with a truly personalised experience.
- You’ll have a dedicated contact within our team who will act as your personal guide to Practical Action and the work you’re supporting.
- We’ll talk to you about the difference you want to make and any particular interests you have that might influence how you’d like to direct your giving.
- We’ll keep in touch with regular reports, impact stories and photos of our projects in action for you to share with colleagues, clients, customers, friends and family.

How to give
Whether you prefer to give cash, shares or through a company matched giving scheme, we will make sure your gift goes further.
If you are a UK tax payer, and you’ve completed a declaration, we can claim Gift Aid on your donation. Meaning we get an extra 25% for basic tax payers. If you pay a higher rate of income tax (40% or more) you could be entitled to a tax rebate on your donation.
Before giving, please get in touch so we can make sure your gift is used in the best way possible for you and the people we support.
