Edge Fund
We support efforts to achieve social, economic and environmental justice, and to end imbalances of wealth and power.
What we do fund
Work with the primary objective of creating long-term change in society by addressing the causes of injustice and inequality.
We focus on groups addressing issues that face a particular community that are led by that community (e.g. a group working on issues around sex work should be led by people with direct lived experience of sex work).
We prioritise groups that struggle to get funding elsewhere, particularly if other funders might consider them to be "too radical".
All types of non-profit organisations, including groups that are not formally registered.
What we do not fund
Groups not based in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England
Traditional charities or charitable work which can access funding from elsewhere
Groups that are primarily providing support or services to others
Commercial or business activity
Groups with an annual income over £20,000
Groups that have several paid staff
International issues or groups, unless their activity is in - and targeted at - the UK
Political parties
Groups whose aim is to promote religious ideas
Groups that receive funding from mainstream sources, such as the National Lottery Community Fund or local council
