The Edge Fund is offering 40 grants of £1,000 each to communities and campaign groups based in the UK and Republic of Ireland that are working for social, economic and environmental justice.
The Fund supports efforts to create long-term change in society by addressing the causes of injustice and inequality by achieving social, economic and environmental justice and to end imbalances in wealth and power. It also gives people a say in where the money goes and is an alternative fund for those who struggle to get funding elsewhere.
The grants will support:
- Work that creates long-term change in society by addressing the causes of injustice and inequality.
- Work addressing issues facing a particular community that is led by that community i.e. lived experience is key.
- Groups based in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.
- Small groups that struggle to get funding elsewhere, particularly if other funders might consider them to be too radical.
- All types of non-profit organisations, including groups that are not formally registered.
Not-for-profit organisations with an annual income of £20,000 or less that are addressing issues facing a particular community (e.g., racism) to be led by that community (e.g., people of African and Asian heritage) are eligible to apply.
Deadline: 13 September 2024
