Edge Fund
Details
Edge Fund supports small grassroots organisations taking action for a just, equitable and sustainable world. It funds work that challenges abuses of power and aims to bring an end to the systems that cause injustice. They can fund:
- Work with the primary objective of creating long-term change in society by addressing the causes of injustice and inequality.
- Focus on groups addressing issues that face a particular community that are led by that community (e.g. a group working on issues around sex work should be led by people with direct lived experience of sex work).
- They prioritise 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. Visit the Edge Fund website for full guidelines.
