Match Funding? Your help matters now!

CDS receives Match Fund from Backstage Trust

Chisenhale Dance Space has been granted generous support from Backstage Trust in the form of a match fund.
All monies donated between now and January 2017 will be matched!

So what is match funding?

Match funding is a simple idea. During a match fund campaign,  every donation is either guaranteed or given an equal chance of being matched. The amount and type of donation matched varies depending upon the specific match fund campaign running.

A typical match fund would work like this:

£10.00 Your donation
+ £10.00 Donation matched by Backstage Trust
+ £ 2.50 Gift Aid (For UK taxpayers)
£22.50

After a small processing fee, a £10 single donation with Gift Aid means the charity typically receives £21.67
