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.
