Digital Justice Fund 2026: European Digital Justice Movement Support Call

Program objective

This fund aims to support communities working against inequalities created by digital technologies to:

Build solidarity with each other,
Create transformation in political, legal, and organizational fields,
Achieve fairer access to resources,
Develop liberating alternatives at the intersection of technology and justice. 

Going beyond classic grant models, the program distributes resources through a participatory decision-making (peer circle) approach. 

Who can apply?

• Non-profit groups, collectives, and NGOs operating in Europe (as defined by the Council of Europe),
• Registered or unregistered community structures,
• Organizations led especially by historically and structurally marginalized communities.

Priority groups

• Black people, Indigenous peoples, Roma communities
• Queer and transfeminist movements
• People with disabilities, migrants, workers, sex workers
• People living in poverty, youth, elderly people, and displaced communities
• Organizations resisting colonialism, racism, casteism, and patriarchy

Eligibility criteria

In order to apply to the fund and increase your chances of receiving a grant, you must meet all the criteria below:

• Your group must be based primarily in Europe, and the focus of your activities must also cover Europe. Working in coalition with groups operating internationally is welcome.
• Your work must focus on digital justice organizing. Digital justice organizing is defined as work that builds collective power to ensure equal access to resources for everyone, creating conditions for the well-being of the planet and all living beings. This also includes enabling historically and structurally marginalized communities to determine the purpose, design, production, distribution, and governance of digital technologies for themselves.
• Your average annual organizational budget, calculated over the past two or three years, must not exceed 500,000 euros.
• You must have no more than 10 paid staff (including long-term freelance contracts). Collectives run entirely by volunteers or with no paid staff are also eligible to apply.
• Your group must be community-focused. This means that people directly affected by the issues you work on must be represented in leadership or decision-making processes and implementation of your activities.
