\"Edge<\/p>\n

A new fund set up to support communities, campaign groups and activists was launched earlier this month. The Edge Fund<\/a> has been set up by donors, activists, and people from communities facing injustice and aims to make \u201cgrants with a difference, supporting justice and seeking change from below,\u201d while prioritising \u201cfunding for grassroots or unfunded groups and those seeking real and lasting radical change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finances will be allocated to groups \u201cworking for long-term systemic change – aiming to transform the economic and political systems which create inequality, oppression and environmental destruction\u201d, especially if they are \u201cfacing injustice themselves because of their class, ability, race, religion, sexual orientation, or other reasons, and who are actively working to challenge these injustices to create a more equal world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first round of grants of up to \u00a35,000 will likely go to UK-based groups.<\/p>\n

To apply for funding, contact edgefund@riseup.net<\/a> before December 1st with details describing who you are, what you do, your annual income and why you should be funded before, or call 776 712 6915.
