Earlier this year, we embarked on a project to map the current state of funding for equity and justice infrastructure. While some efforts have been made to better evidence the scale and funding of more generic forms of infrastructure support, we still lack understanding about the infrastructure sector specifically for equity and justice organisations. This project will improve our understanding of the current funding position of the sector and the needs they are seeking to address.
Over recent weeks we’re hearing more and more about increased demand on open grant rounds. High demand on funds isn’t new, but it seems that the number of applications to many grant programmes has reached new heights. If funding applications have sharply increased, it is crucial that we understand the underlying reasons behind this change.
