This section of the website is designed to give you all the information you need to apply to JRCT for a grant.
If you want to get a general overview of the kind of work we fund then take a look at the programmes section of this site.
If you are ready to apply, or want to know more about the process, then go to How to Apply
To save time later you may want to check our list of general exclusions first.
Applications can be sent in at any time. However, at present the Trust has only three grant cycles each year. The deadline is first post, or 0900 UK time for online applications, on the dates listed below.
*PLEASE NOTE that:
| Applications to the Ireland Programme | All other applications | Decision by |
| 7 December 2009 | 5 January 2010 | 15 Mar 2010 |
| 6 April 2010 | 20 April 2010 (NOT Quaker Concerns) | 12 July 2010 |
| 23 August 2010 | 7 September 2010 | 22 Nov 2010 |
It is extremely helpful if applications arrive well before the deadline whenever possible. The period immediately after the deadline is our busiest time, so we cannot normally consider applications that arrive late until the following funding round.
Ireland applications received by 6 April 2010 and Peace, Power & Responsibility and Racial Justice applications received by 20 April 2010, will be given a final decision in the week beginning 12 July 2010. Some unsuccessful applications will hear earlier. Occasionally, a decision may be postponed to a later grant round.
