Overview

The Edge Fund supports 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. This is a new funding round for small grants, distributed quickly, for previously funded groups working to respond to the Covid 19 crisis.

You will be contacted even if they cannot offer you funding.

They hope to have more emergency funding rounds in the future, and next time to include groups that are new to Edge. To adapt the process, they will continue receiving feedback from members and applicants, and make sure that they keep responding to the suggestions and needs of those most directly affected.

If you do know of any other groups who have not previously been funded by Edge Fund but that you think could benefit from emergency funding at this time, please let them know and they will endeavour to support their application in a future round.

Eligibility Criteria

Their eligibility criteria for this is simple. You must be:

  • A group previously funded by Edge Fund
  • Doing work to respond to the COVID-19 crisis
