Justice, peace, the environment: We raise over £2 million a year for projects and organisations focused on these areas
What we fund
The recipients of Network for Social Change grants are diverse but broadly fit into what we call “progressive social change”. Many of the projects we fund are at an early stage of development; others may be well-established organisations.
How we fund
About 80% of our funding is charitable and goes through our charity, Network for Social Change Charitable Trust. We also fund non-charitably, through Funding for Social Change Ltd.
We work together
We come together at conferences and in small groups, to learn from each other, review projects and consider new areas to support. Collaboration is key.
Our members’ personal beliefs vary, but we all aim for a fairer and more sustainable world, and wish to use our resources to help make that a reality.
Our values
With so many projects to choose, how do we select those we sponsor? We tend to favour radical projects which are influential or replicable, and which are hard to fund. We are guided by our values and funding framework.
Our impact
It’s key that the projects and organisations we support are focused on justice, peace and the environment. We’ve funded over 8,000 projects in the 40 years since we started. We publish our funding and project outcomes in our regular funding reports.
