Description
1) Objective
The Network for Social Change Charitable Trust is a group of individuals providing funding for progressive social change projects, particularly in the areas of justice, peace and the environment. The Trust supports projects which are innovative, highly leveraged, and/or difficult to fund, addressing the root causes of a problem. The Trust provides 3 types of grants:
- (1) Pools – sponsoring projects for grants with a thematic focus on one of the 6 Pools (green planet, human rights, economic justice, health and wholeness, peace, arts and education)
- (2) Major Projects – focusing on a neglected area of social change (a sustainable economy, income inequality, asylum injustice, remote control warfare), providing funding for 3-6 years
- (3) Fast Track – providing grants to projects that are identified, assessed and sponsored by a single member of the Trust, who then invites fellow members to join them in funding it.
They support projects in the area of health, HIVA/AIDS, children and alike.
2) Eligibility
Non-profit organisations whose focus areas are: (1) justice; (2) peace and (3) environment are eligible to apply.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Grant sizes differ according to the nature of the project. (1) Major Projects range from £50,000-£100,000; (2) Pool grants are in the £20,000 range and (3) for the Fast Track grants, grants of up to £7,000 are provided.
5) Application
They do not accept unsolicited funding applications, but if applicants have a project that they think a member of the Trust might be interested in sponsoring for funding, they are advised to go to the Project Noticeboard (which can be found on the Trusts website) and leave a brief project summary. If one of the members of the Trust is interested in sponsoring it for a grant, they will get in touch with the applicant. For Pool funding, there is is one funding round a year, the application deadline is the end of August and grants are awarded in February. For Fast Track funding, there are four funding rounds a year.
