Updated 18/02/2021 08:21 GMT Revealed: Who Will Get First Black Lives Matter UK Grants After £1m Fundraiser Exclusive: The anti-racism collective names the first 14 groups receiving funding and addresses concerns around transparency. Black Lives Matter UK has given the first grants from its £1.2million fundraiser to 14 Black-interest groups, HuffPost UK can reveal. The anti-racism collective received more than 36,000 donations amid the global protests in the wake of George Floyd’s murder last year. The initial grants total £170,000 and a second round later this year will see that rise to £600,000 – half of the money received. The remaining £600,000 will be spent on “building an anti-racist organisation that can scale up its existing community organising, educational work and direct actions”.
