The grants are funded by Comic Relief and the National Emergency Fund in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This fund is open to all groups that are working towards systemic change, and whose work is in line with Edge Fund's values. Edge Fund understand that currently, many groups have put their campaigning/systemic change work on hold in order to deal with the effects of the pandemic – this is okay and will not disqualify you for funding.
Each successful group will receive £750.
