We raise money to support communities most affected by inequality who are working to create a more just, equal and sustainable world. The groups we support decide where the money goes

We have run 7 funding rounds and distributed 133 grants to over 120 groups, totalling around £130,000.

We are currently closed for applications – our round 7 closed on 7 August 2025 and we received 71 applications! Please donate if you can.

Please donate to support those working tirelessly on the ground to bring about justice and equality for their community. You can find out more about groups funded in previous rounds here; they’ll decide who gets funded this time round.

We focused on outreach work which included distributing leaflets to 45 community centres and libraries from Avonmouth to…

  • Sharing Day

    Earlier this month we held our first Sharing Day. Funding processes can feel competitive and isolating and often applicants get nothing at the end of it which can feel really demoralising. We try to do funding differently and aim for all groups to benefit from the process even if they don’t get funding. As well…

  • Summer outreach

    We’ve had a busy summer, initially focusing on spreading the word in areas we haven’t received many applications from in the past (eg north and south Bristol) and then working to find more people who can offer support to our groups who achieve so much with so little. Here’s what we got up to:

Despite many pockets of excellent and thoughtful practice, it was abundantly clear that foundations are…
