eBay Expands Circular Fashion Fund Across Europe and North America
eBay has announced the expansion of its Circular Fashion Fund in 2026, opening applications to businesses and startups across the EU, Switzerland, and Canada for the first time. Now in its fourth year, the program continues to reinforce eBay’s commitment to advancing circularity in the global fashion industry.
Eight selected businesses will each receive $50,000 in funding, along with mentoring support to develop solutions that extend the life of clothing and reduce textile waste. One standout participant will also be named the Global Winner, with the opportunity to receive an additional $300,000 investment from eBay Ventures.
Launched in 2022, the Circular Fashion Fund supports entrepreneurs addressing fashion’s environmental impact across the value chain, from production to end-of-life. With this year’s expansion, eBay’s total global funding through the program is expected to reach $1.9 million by the end of 2026. Applications are open across all markets until March 8, 2026.
Since its launch, the fund has supported more than 25 businesses through funding and mentoring, helping startups overcome key barriers to scale, including access to capital, industry networks, and strategic partners.
