Registration Deadline for Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (Northern Ireland Programme) Confirmed

Funding is available for UK-registered charities whose work promotes peace, equality, inclusion and human rights, contributing to the ongoing transformation of Northern Ireland.

Although the main focus of the programme is Northern Ireland, the committee does consider applications for initiatives that work on an all-island basis, or those that strengthen civil society relationships on an East-West or North-South basis (in partnership with organisations in Britain and Ireland).

The programme has three priority areas:

  • Strengthening human rights and equality.

  • Reimagining society.

  • Cultivating peace and reconciliation.

No minimum or maximum amount of grant is specified.

Groups must register before applying to the fund.

For the current round, the registration closing date is 19 August 2026. The closing date for applications is 2 September 2026. For more information please visit Funding priorities
