BGCI is excited to be taking part in the BigGive #ChristmasChallenge once again this December.

The Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest collaborative fundraising campaign, championing a wide range of charitable organisations. Thanks to the BigGive match fund, every donation made to our campaign via BigGive.org during the week of 1-8 December will be DOUBLED.

So, whatever you can give, no matter the size, every donation will make double the difference in supporting botanic gardens through the Global Botanic Garden Fund (GBGF).

Our grants empower local action in botanic gardens, conserving irreplaceable biodiversity, and build lasting conservation capacity. For many projects, this vital support can mean the difference between extinction and survival.

Your donation will fund urgent plant conservation projects in the world’s most vulnerable regions—where biodiversity is rich, but resources are scarce.
