The overall focus of this grant is on developing and promoting sustainable, low-carbon alternatives to the current consumerist and growth-based paradigm. The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust will support a range of actions to achieve aims that concentrate on (there is no stated grant amount):
- Better economics
- Beyond consumerism
- New voices
Funding will be focused on:
- Groups and organisations that struggle to obtain funding elsewhere (for example, only one core funder or no core funding)
- Those that are actively building power amongst communities
- Those with a track record of community organising around climate, economics, or the environment
- Groups and organisations that effectively connect the intersecting harms of climate breakdown, racial injustice, economic inequality, and the legacies of colonialism
- Groups and organisations that consider the needs and well-being of staff, volunteers, and other participants
- Projects for which there is a demonstrable need
