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 around £130,000 to 120 groups.
We are currently closed for applications – our round 7 closed on 7 August 2025 and we received 71 applications! Sign up to our newsletter to find out when we’re next accepting applications.
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 next time.
