The Boring Fund keeps things easy with the simplest application process, £200 grants, and no reporting.
All grants are for £200. There will be 30+ grants available. You can use a grant for a couple of different things if one of them costs less than £200, or put the £200 towards the cost of something more expensive.
The grant is to spend the money on something boring and behind-the-scenes, that would otherwise be more difficult to fund e.g. insurance, accountancy, admin time, web hosting, training, office costs etc. Essential but unsexy costs. The grants are not for project delivery or anything too exciting.
The Boring Fund will be distributed to organisations across the UK, including to those that are led by- or shout alongside- people whose voices don’t get heard enough (for example LGBTQ+, queer or trans-led organisations, those who are disability led, those with global majority leaders or for refugee and migrant communities).
Supporting those working towards social justice is core to The Boring Fund and its values.
