Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) is a philanthropic grant making trust that chiefly supports work undertaken in the UK, Ireland and South Africa. It is one of four trusts set up by Joseph Rowntree in 1904.
The JRCT states:
- We are an independent, progressive organisation committed to funding radical change towards a better world.
- The JRCT makes grants to individuals and to projects seeking the creation of a peaceful world, political equality and social justice.
In 2005 the trust launched a scheme with the aim of supporting six applicants full-time to carry out their personal missions as "Visionaries for a Just and Peaceful World". Seven people were chosen, with two sharing an award.
