The Community Action Fund

The Community Action Fund exists to support grassroots campaigning and community organising in the UK. 

It will provide one-off grants between £2,500 and £20,000. 

These grants are available to grassroots organisations that are building the power of their community and campaigning for long-term change. 

All successful applicants will be offered support beyond funding. This will include the Civic Power Fund Governance Hub and optional, bespoke cohort and capacity building opportunities.

The deadline is 26th February 2023.

The Community Action Fund is open to UK-based organisations that are:
‍

1. Rooted in and accountable to their community. 
   ‍

2. Hoping to achieve long-term change on issues affecting the lives of their community. 
   ‍

3. Addressing injustice by building the power of their community. For example, through community organising, campaigning, or democratic engagement. 
   ‍

4. Lacking the resources to take their vision to the next level. 
   ‍

5. Seeking to build a larger us and resisting the politics of division 

The Community Action Fund prioritises organisations led by people with lived experience of the injustice they are trying to overcome.
