The Create Equity 2031 Campaign
We want to encourage government bodies, local authorities, public funders, trusts, foundations and major commercial sponsors to distribute their funds equitably. We’re calling for more accountability for fair funding and will challenge funders where they take no action. We ask funders to share their learning with the wider world in order to make change visible, reframe the conversation and level-up the funding landscape.
“The potential for impact investing to deliver racially equitable funding is huge, but there is inherent inertia. To date no funding system in the UK has delivered racially equitable outcomes. For the potential to be realised, inequities in decision-making power must be addressed. Who makes decisions, what they define as important and how those definitions are interpreted must be on the table before we can develop funding systems which are racially equitable.”
