Edge Fund supports work run by and for communities facing discrimination and injustice. Edge Fund funds work carried out by individuals and grass-roots groups in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England that find it difficult to get funding elsewhere. They do not fund traditional charity work, instead they support activity that challenges abuses of power and aims to change society by bringing an end to the systems that cause injustice. While applicants may be working on short term reforms, Edge Fund is looking for applicants that ultimately aim to end or replace unjust systems with a just alternative. 
£40,000 will be given to 30 grass-roots groups, campaigning against the systems that cause injustice. Grants of up to £3,000 are available.
Edge Fund supports those taking action for a just, equitable and sustainable world. Edge Fund funds work that challenges abuses of power and aims to bring an end to the systems that cause injustice. This could be economic systems, political systems, or any system that discriminates against people based on their identity or background (e.g. class, ability, gender, race, nationality, religion, sexuality, age or other factors).
