Introduction: Application Invited for Regenerative Futures Fund Programme 2025 in United Kingdom, The Regenerative Futures Fund Programme is a decade-long community initiative in Edinburgh that empowers those often excluded from decision-making. Designed by and for local communities, this fund supports grassroots organizations, collectives, and movements, enabling them to plan for the future and address the root causes of poverty, racism, and environmental challenges.
Last Date of Submission: 22nd April 2025
Goals (Application Invited for Regenerative Futures Fund Programme 2025 in United Kingdom)
The Fund will:
- Support organisations and collectives to work on long-term solutions to the complex problem of tackling the root causes of poverty, racism and the environmental crisis.
- Engage with local authority leaders, funders and others to learn and collaborate with funded organisations on shared objectives and wider system change
- Support a more diverse and experience-informed group of voices to shape change and direct resources towards the programme goals
- Create new solutions to long-term entrenched challenges faced by Edinburgh and its diverse communities
Which will mean that:
- Edinburgh residents see improvements in their financial security, future prospects, and natural environment, with a more tolerant society in place
- Residents living in poverty in Edinburgh are empowered to play a central role in improving the lives of people living in poverty and experiencing racism. They increase their skills and confidence, and their influence, either through new paid roles or setting up or joining in campaigns/movements, and
- Movements and grassroots community organisations have the resources and networks they need to develop a powerful voice in Edinburgh, and the space to imagine a better future and begin to shape it.
Funding Information (Application Invited for Regenerative Futures Fund Programme 2025 in United Kingdom)
Regenerative Futures Fund will fund 10-15 organisations over ten years and start making grants in 2025.
- In Spring 2025 around 25 organisations and collectives will be invited to take part in Phase One, a capacity-building programme with development grants of up to £10,000. This phase is designed to ensure that organisations can take their time (and be funded during this phase) to work out what they need to have in place to be ready for a 10-year programme. This will differ for each organisation and will respond to individual organisational needs.
- Following the capacity-building phase, 10-15 organisations will go on to Phase Two and will be offered funding at a level of up to £100,000 a year for 10 years (2025 – 2035).
