Spring Match Fund 2025: One Donation, Twice the Impact
We are excited to announce that we are running a Spring Match Fund in partnership with The Big Give to raise more funds for grassroots nature restoration projects in Devon!
From noon on Thurs 20 March to noon Fri 4 April 2025, every £1 donated to DEF via the Big Give website will be matched – meaning you can DOUBLE your impact for nature.*
There are so many brilliant local projects working hard to protect and restore nature in Devon.
Since launching 4.5 years ago, we have supported 81 projects, awarding over £1.1 million in grants.
Projects we have supported are delivering vital impact for nature in Devon:
- addressing river water quality 💧
- protecting seagrass beds 🌱
- breeding native wild cats and white storks 🐈
- helping swifts and ospreys to thrive🦅
- enabling nature-friendly farming training and farm clusters🧑🌾
- reducing pesticide use among communities 🐝
- cleaning up plastic pollution ♻️
Scroll through all the grants we’ve awareded to date here.
Our mission is to accelerate nature restoration in Devon, getting funds where they are needed quickly.
Funds raised during our 2025 Spring Match Fund will be added to our grant budget to enable us to support even more incredible nature restoration projects in Devon.
As the end of the tax year approaches, it can be a great time to make tax-efficient charity donations.
A donation to DEF enables you to pool funds with like-minded donors to increase your impact and make a positive difference to nature on your doorstep.
