eBay is expanding its Circular Fashion Fund in 2026, opening applications to businesses and startups across the EU, Switzerland, and Canada for the first time. Eight selected businesses will each receive $50,000 in funding, alongside mentoring to develop innovative solutions that extend the life of clothing and reduce textile waste. The total global funding through the program is set to reach $1.9 million by the end of 2026.
The Circular Fashion Fund supports entrepreneurs tackling the fashion and textile industry’s environmental footprint, from production to end-of-life. One standout business will be named the Global Winner and receive an additional $300,000 investment from eBay Ventures. Applications are open until March 8, 2026.
