Deadline: 13-Nov-21
Applications are now open for the Bristol Redistro Grant to challenge inequality of wealth and power to create positive alternatives.
Bristol Redistro gives money to support the struggles, fights, campaigns and projects of groups and communities facing discrimination (due to their class, ability, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexuality, age, immigration status or other factors) and who are working towards justice and equality.
Bristol Redistro raises money from people who have more than they need to get by, and gives grassroots groups the power to decide how it is used to create social change.
Funding Information
