Eligibility

Open to Black and Global Majority individuals, organisations and collectives aged 18+ working towards racial justice in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales. Universities are not among the intended applicants — the fund targets by-and-for community entities, and a researcher's route is partnership with a grantee. A GBP 500 access fund supports disabled applicants.
