Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT)
The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) is an independent trust which makes grants to organisations and individuals working to produce positive social change through their charitable work. Their mission is to support people who address the root causes of conflict and injustice. Every year JRCT makes more than 100 grants for all kinds of charitable work, from grassroots community groups to well-established charities working to build a peaceful and just world.
They make grants via five funding programmes: Power and Accountability, Peace and Security, Rights and Justice, Sustainable Future and Northern Ireland.
This support is provided, primarily, through funding applied for by applicants.
We draw our income from a responsibly invested endowment. We don’t fundraise.
Applications for the small grants scheme can be submitted at any time.
