Funding for racial justice

Aims

Our focus is on tackling racial injustice by reducing poverty in London’s Black and minoritised communities. To do this, we need to:

• increase household income in Black and minoritised communities. When we talk about income, we mean the amount of money households earn; and
• increase the amount of household and community wealth in Black and minoritised communities. When we talk about wealth, we mean the value of assets that households and communities hold.

Collectively, we call this economic empowerment. Fundamentally, we do not think you can have racial justice without economic empowerment.

How it works

The racial justice fund supports new and exciting ideas in Black and minoritised organisations that are working to increase incomes and wealth in local communities in London. Fund details:

• £4 million in total given out over two years
• Grants for up to five years
• Development grants available
• Flexible funding for core and/or project funding
