Overview

Edge Fund is a grant-making body with a difference. They support efforts to achieve social, economic and environmental justice and to end imbalances in wealth and power – and give those they aim to help a say in where the money goes.

What they do fund

Please check their definitions first to understand the criteria below:

Work with the primary objective of creating long-term change in society by addressing the causes of injustice and inequality.
They 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.

They do not typically fund Social Enterprises or Community Interest Companies rarely fund charities for a few reasons. Find out more, in their FAQ's, click here.
