IS THE COMMUNITY ACTION FUND RIGHT FOR YOU?
The Community Action Fund is open to UK-based organisations that are:
- Rooted in and accountable to their community.
- Hoping to achieve long-term change on issues affecting the lives of their community.
- Addressing injustice by building the power of their community. For example, through community organising, campaigning, or democratic engagement.
- Lacking the resources to take their vision to the next level.

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