Antipode Foundation Ltd.
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Antipode suits projects in radical and critical geography that engage with debates in Antipode and the wider field, and it explicitly favours early-career and non-tenure-track researchers and applicants from historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions.
- Grants go up to £10,000 per initiative, and the Foundation expects to fund 10 to 12 grants in its next application round, so a modest, feasible budget with items tied to outcomes is the realistic ask.
- Applications close on 10 April; obtain the form online or from the Executive Director, and read and acknowledge the transparency notice.
- The Foundation rarely funds solo projects or individuals under its Right to the Discipline grants, so an individual working alone should consider a collaborative proposal instead, and any project that creates a website or archive must set out how it will continue after the grant.

What they fund
Priority Areas
The Foundation funds social scientific research, education and scholarship in radical and critical geography. Its grants support conferences, workshops and seminar series, collaborations between scholars and activists, and work to make critical geography more diverse, equitable and inclusive. Its project awards welcome proposals from people outside the academy and across the social sciences, humanities and beyond, provided they engage with debates in Antipode and radical geography. It supports creative, collaborative and politically engaged work, including scholar-activism, research and writing projects, and media projects with a scholarly bent. Funds may address obstacles to research and publication. The Foundation explicitly privileges early-career and non-tenure-track researchers and applicants from historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions, and rarely funds solo projects or individuals.
