Edge Fund has announced that it is accepting applications for its next funding round.
Edge Fund supports work run by and for communities facing discrimination and injustice, funding grassroots groups as well as individuals in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales that struggle to find funding elsewhere.

The deadline is 3rd July, and groups can apply on the Edge Fund website. The maximum grant that can be applied for is £3,000 for groups and £1,000 for individuals.
Round 5 of funding, which took place earlier this year, saw Edge Fund award approximately £40,000 to 30 groups,
