JOSEPH ROWNTREE CHARITABLE TRUST

The Grassroots Movements Fund is a new pilot programme at the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. We are seeking to fund grassroots groups working on transformative change... JRCT was established as a Quaker Trust in 1904 by a donation from Joseph Rowntree. Joseph Rowntree's wealth came from the Rowntree sweet company. JRCT was a shareholder in the Rowntree business until 1988, when the company was bought by Nestle... JRCT's Grassroots Movements Fund has been created to support the sustainability of that long-term movement work, and the values, aims, criteria and decision-making process have all come from what we heard movements wanted and needed.
