Donations through this page support poverty relief programs in Africa and can't be restricted to emergency relief or other specific campaigns.

UPDATE: As of today, there are still match funds available to double your impact. We will update this page once the match is filled.


All donations will be doubled until 11:59 PM GMT on New Year’s Eve, or until £100,000 in donor match funds run out.

This is a true match — if we don’t reach our £100,000 goal, any remaining match funds will expire.

Here’s how it works:

  • New one-time donations of £15+ will be matched 2x.
  • New monthly donations £10+/month will be matched 2.5x for the first payment.
  • Existing monthly donors: increase your monthly donation and the increased amount will be matched 2.5x. Visit this page to increase your monthly donation and unlock the match.

Filling this match means unlocking enough funds to deliver life-changing cash to ~180 families living in extreme poverty.

Make your matched gift today and double your impact.

Donations made to GDUK (less transaction fees) are granted to GiveDirectly for cash transfer programs in Africa only. Funds are directed by GDUK’s board of trustees and cannot be allocated to specific programs by donors.

UK taxpayers can donate here through our official partner and registered trust GiveDirectly UK (GDUK). Our charity number is 1167938.

GDUK reclaims Gift Aid which boosts donations by 25p for each £1 donated. Higher and additional rate taxpayers can also reclaim additional tax relief via their Self Assessment returns.
