The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust has announced that the next application date for its UK grant making programmes is the 28th April 2008. Within the UK, the Trust makes grants to both organisations and individuals for activities that relate to: peace and conflict resolution; promoting racial justice, including empowering black and minority ethnic people to engage in decision making and policy development; developing an appropriate relationship between people and the institutions that affect them, including the promotion of accountability, openness, responsiveness and a respect for human rights across the public and private sectors; and Quaker concerns which helps to deepen the spiritual life of the Society of Friends or that develops Quaker responses to problems of our time. The Trust tends to fund work that is on a national level and there are no maximum grant limits although the Trust does stress that costings need to be realistic.
