The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) is a Quaker trust which supports people who address the root causes of conflict and injustice.
JRCT is a responsive grant-making trust focusing on five priority areas, of which two are directly applicable to Future-Fit’s work:
- ‘Power and Accountability’ seeks to create a world in which power is more equally shared, and in which powerful institutions are responsive and accountable to wider society and aligned with the long-term public interest.
- ‘Sustainable Future’ focuses on developing and promoting sustainable, low-carbon alternatives to the current consumerist and growth-based paradigm.
JRCT understands the ability of the Future-Fit Business Benchmark to help address both of these issues at source, and has therefore partnered with us through a 3-year £150,000 ‘cross-cutting’ core grant to help increase global adoption of the Benchmark.
