The Grassroots Movements Fund

This is a pilot to resource movements that are on the frontlines of social and environmental injustice, and who are striving for transformative change – a vision in which discrimination and domination in society no longer exist.

The Grassroots Movements Fund has around £1 million which we are aiming to redistribute over two funding rounds in 2023. The fund will make grants of between £10k and £70k to every successful application. Grants can cover up to a two-year period.

We really want to make sure that people only apply if they have a reasonable chance of getting funding. We know how much time and effort, as well as hope, is put into grant applications so we’ve tried to create a clear criteria so you can understand if the fund is a good fit for your group.

To apply for the Fund groups must meet these five criteria:

1. Be based in the UK with work primarily focused in the UK

2. Be a not-for-profit organisation

3. Have systems for making decisions and managing money

4. Be able to demonstrate they are part of a grassroots movement

5. Be able to demonstrate they are working towards transformative change

The first deadline is 19 February 2023.
