LONDON — The United Kingdom government has announced a new round of UK Aid Match funding, as part of which it will match public donations to charities working on the long-term effects of the coronavirus pandemic, girls’ education, malnutrition, and malaria.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office announced Monday that it will match public donations up to £2 million ($2.6 million) for successful applicants.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us all, and the focus of this new funding will help tackle the global challenges that have become even more acute,” said FCDO Minister Liz Sugg. “Charities from across the U.K. can now apply for match funding to help address the long-term impacts of COVID-19, end preventable deaths, and support girls to receive a vital education.”
