Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust - Rights and Justice (UK)

The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) makes grants to a range of organisations including registered, excepted or exempt charities based in the UK for work that seeks to make positive change across the UK as a whole, or across one or more of its member countries - England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

The Funding priorities for the Rights and Justice theme are:

  1. Protection and promotion of human rights and their enforcement in the UK
  2. Promoting rights and justice for minorities who face the most severe forms of racism
  3. Promotion of rights and justice for refugees and other migrants by identifying and tackling structures and systems that may deny them their rights.
  4. Responding to the dual harms of Covid-19 and systemic racism.

Whilst the focus is to support national advocacy and campaigning, JRCT is open to applications which aim to effect change at local and regional levels of policy-making, provided the applicant can demonstrate the wider significance of the work. 

JRCT places an emphasis on supporting those who have direct experience of racism and oppression.

Applicants are encouraged to apply for a grant for unrestricted or core support, although support for specific programme or project funding is also available.

Applicants must have an account for the Trust's grants management system in order to be able to make an application. Applicants that don't already have one, must register for an account at least two weeks before the application deadline. 

The deadline to register is the 14th March 2023 and the deadline to apply is 5pm on the 28th March 2023.

Recent grants awarded have ranged from £5,000 to £100,000+ including:

  • £20,000 to the Barrow Cadbury Trust
  • £59,365 to Citizens UK (Safe Passage)
  • £16,400 to the Equality and Diversity Forum
