The AB Charitable Trust is announcing applications for its Grant Program to support work that promotes human dignity and defends the human rights of marginalized and excluded people.
The foundation focuses on supporting the most marginalized and excluded groups in the UK, who are often from communities experiencing poverty and racial inequality.
People who migrate, are refugees or seeking asylum, and people involved in the criminal justice system, are often the subject of negative public narrative – and being unpopular causes, can be difficult to fundraise for. In supporting access to justice, they recognize that high-quality legal advice and representation is a powerful tool to help bring about both individual redress and systemic change.
Priority Areas
The foundation fund small to medium-sized charities work in three priority areas:
Migrants and refugees
The Justice System and Penal Reform
Human Rights, Particularly Access to Justice
Funding Information
Open program grants are usually between £10,000 to £20,000 and are awarded annually.
