Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust

The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust funds work in Britain under the
programme headings listed below.

Peace - work promoting nonviolent conflict resolution, including work
on the arms trade; developing effective peacebuilding measures; and
supporting the right to conscientious objection to military service.

Racial justice - Work which promotes racial justice in all parts of
society, including empowering black and minority ethnic people to
engage in decision making and policy development, and work which
monitors and challenges racism and racial injustice whether relating
to colour or culture.  The programme includes work addressing issues
and policies that affect refugees and asylum seekers.  This particular
programme includes local grants and development work in the West
Yorkshire area.

Power and responsibility - Work that encourages an appropriate
relationship between people and the institutions that affect them,
including strengthening the democratic process, enhancing corporate
accountability, and building respect for human rights across the
public and private sectors.

Quaker concerns - Work that helps to deepen the spiritual life of the
Society of Friends or that develops Quaker responses to problems of
our time.

Most grants made under these four programmes are to organisations
based in Britain for work at a national level (apart from racial
justice work at local level in West Yorkshire). The Trust also
supports a small number of organisations under these four programmes
that are based elsewhere in Europe for work at a European level.

Forthcoming deadlines are:
* Ireland programme - 6 April 2009;
* All other programmes: 27 April 2009.
