Grassroots Movements Fund – Now Open

Share:

The Grassroots Movements Fund is a new area of work at the grantmaking organisation The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. It is a pilot fund, to resource movements on the frontlines of social and environmental injustice, and who are striving for transformative change – a vision in which the systems of discrimination and domination of the present no longer exist.

The Grassroots Movements Fund has around £1 million which it will aim to redistribute over two funding rounds in 2023.

The fund will make grants of between £10k and £70k to every successful application. Grants can cover up to a two-year period.

To apply for the Fund groups must meet these five criteria:

1. Be based in the UK with work primarily focused in the UK
2. Be a not-for-profit organisation
3. Have systems for making decisions and managing money
4. Be able to demonstrate they are part of a grassroots movement
5. Be able to demonstrate they are working towards transformative change.
