The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust: Sustainable Future

This fund is now closed

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
