JRCT: Peace, Racial Justice, Power and Responsibility - 6th and 20th April

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 and 23 August 2010
- Other programmes - 09:00 on 20 April 2010 and 7 September 2010

They are not accepting applications for the Quaker Concerns programme in this
grant round. The next deadline will be deadline 7 September 2010 for November.
