Aims of Fund
Edge Fund supports those taking action for a just, equitable and sustainable world. They fund work that challenges abuses of power and aims to bring an end to the systems that cause injustice.
Who can apply
Grassroots community groups in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England that find it difficult to get funding elsewhere, and whose work focuses on creating long term change in society, and reducing inequality and injustice.
All groups funded in the past have had an annual income of less than £25,000.
Work that addresses issues faced by a certain community should be led by that community.
Grants of up to £1,000 are also available for individuals who face barriers in taking action for social justice.
Edge Fund have published a list of grants given previously.
How much and what can you apply for
Up to £1,000.
How to apply
When a funding round is live, the application form will be available on their website.
There is more information on their website about how to apply, including a FAQ, information about their values, and their decision-making process.
If you need support preparing your application (e.g. because you have not written a funding application before, because English is not your first language, because you need the application form in a different format), contact them and they can provide support.
If your application is shortlisted, and is for more than £1,000, you will be invited to attend a decision making day, at which applicants will take part in deciding which groups will receive larger grants.
Deadlines for application
The next deadline is tba.
They run two funding rounds per year. Deadlines are often only announced once the fund has opened and you only have one month to apply. The last funding round ran from 12th August to 13th September 2024
If your application is successful you will receive your grant approximately 4 months after the deadline.
