The Equity in Action Fund has been developed by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland (CFNI) to support grassroots organisations in building stronger, safer, and more informed communities.
Every day, people in our communities are facing targeted hate and harmful misinformation, especially those already on the margins. While large-scale systems are slow to move, grassroots organisations are already taking action. Whether hosting workshops, creating safe spaces, launching youth campaigns, calling out disinformation and supporting new communities, resources are needed. The Equity in Action Fund is here to back them with small grants for grassroots activity that can make a real difference.
