Economic Justice Programme

Applications

We are interested in hearing from organisations working in Birmingham that are testing or building alternative economic models that have potential for deep, long-term and sustainable change to create a more equitable economy in the city.  To be eligible for funding you must be working on an approach with potential for systems change beyond your own organisation.  Examples of such approaches include practical demonstrations of alternative economic models such as Doughnut Economics and Community Wealth Building, or approaches such as Commoning that give local people, particularly those further from power, more access to and control over assets.

Out of scope are: initiatives that support individuals within the current system (for example employment support, advice work or access to services), work without a route to adoption outside your own organisation (for example grants to individual social enterprises to grow their work) or work that maintains current activities without a route to wider change.

Building a network

A network of Birmingham people who share our aims, have ideas for how economic injustice can be reduced, and want to work with others on economic injustice, is being created. Huddlecraft are facilitating the network. Interested in joining? Email Debbie Pippard, Director of Programmes [email protected]
