Looking for groups to join the Roots Fund 2026 Funding Working Group

Edge Fund's 2026 Roots Fund will continue distributing funds to grassroots groups tackling  Islamophobia, racial injustice, and the legacies of British colonialism in the UK & Ireland, and challenging the increased presence of the far right by leading community-led approaches to radical forms of organising. 

To do this, we invite Edge Fund grantees whose missions align with the Roots Fund's aims to join our Funding Working Group (FWG) and become decision-makers in redistributing 40K to other radical grassroots groups. Your group’s expertise will be key for securing a fair distribution of grants. Edge Fund will provide an induction into our Participatory Grant-Making model and into our methodology to collect, assess and shortlist applications. See a detailed timeline below in section D. 

DEADLINE:  Express your interest to join the FWG by completing this form by Friday 26th June (12 noon)- receive a response by Friday 3rd July 

Important: Contribution

Groups joining the FWG will not be allowed to apply for the Roots fund, but will receive a financial contribution for their participation in the redistribution of funds equivalent to the grant (£1,000.00).

Join us for the first in a series of events we are having this year. As part of our Ayni programme aiming at promoting radical sharing among Edge members and supporters, we are hosting an event to reflect on the criminalisation of the movement of solidarity with Palestine in the UK.

We will hear from the experience of three Edge grantees from our Roots Fund and will also have the opportunity to discuss with folks attending how to face this wave of repression against solidarity with Palestinian liberation and its broader impact on the social movements in the UK. 

Thanks to People Against Rafael, Ealing Friends of Palestine and Thanet for Palestine for joining this event.
