Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust - Sustainable Future

Summary

The overall focus is on developing and promoting sustainable, low-carbon alternatives to the current consumerist and growth-based paradigm. Funding priorities are:

  • Better economics
  • Beyond consumerism
  • New voices

Due to a review of their grant making, the Trust ask that you read the guidelines carefully, along with the funding priorities and general exclusions, and speak with programme staff before writing a proposal.

Full guidance is available on the Trust website.

They are specifically interested in work: From groups and organisations who struggle to obtain funding elsewhere (for example, only one core funder, or no core funding)

  • From those who are actively building power amongst communities
  • From those with a solid understanding of the causes of the climate and/or economic crises
  • From those with a track record of community organising around climate, economics, or environment
  • From groups and organisations who effectively connect the intersecting harms of climate breakdown, racial injustice, economic inequality and the legacies of colonialism
  • Which considers the needs and wellbeing of staff, volunteers and other participants
  • For which there is a demonstrable need
  • Where it is clearly explained why you are the right organisation or group to carry out this project.
