Give to Go Green Campaign Launch
Give to Go Green is a match funding opportunity for Parishes with £3.1 million available in grants. This grant fund is for small to medium sized decarbonising projects, costing up to £20k. Typical projects can include lighting upgrades, secondary glazing, infra -red heating and heated pew cushions, for example. Give to Go Green supports local parish-level fundraising campaigns by providing up to £10k in match funding from the Net Zero Carbon Programme.
This launch follows on from the success of the original pilot which ran across 2023-2025 with 9 dioceses. 172 Parishes took part in the pilot and 98.5% of those were 100% successful in hitting their local fundraising target. We also saw a sustained impact on regular giving to the Parishes that took part in the campaign, with an average increase of 233% in giving through online donations a year after taking part in the Give to Go Green pilot. The campaign provides a framework and tools to give Parishes the confidence, resources and funds they need to look at their fundraising and giving in a new way- as well energising their Net Zero ambitions and I would be grateful if you could publicise it widely across your diocese.
