Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust: Sustainable Future
Created: 09/06/2025
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
This item will show under the following categories: Climate/Environment
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 that 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.
