Launched as a playful provocation, The Boring Fund has become a bold experiment in redefining what (and who) gets funded.

This case study explores how a joke Instagram post turned into a real microgrant fund supporting small organisations with the “boring” but essential costs like insurance, safeguarding, storage, and staff training. With transparent lottery-based selection and open-source documentation, The Boring Fund is both a critique of traditional funding models and a practical alternative based on trust, honesty, simplicity and a deep understanding of the sector and its issues.
