Funding
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation funds and works in partnership with other organisations to unlock the UK from poverty
We work to a social change model where we use our resources to fund strategic activity aimed at tackling the root causes of UK poverty.
We are currently in a transition period regarding our strategy and funding opportunities.
Our funded work
Pathfinders
A vital part of our work is supporting a group of inspiring organisations through investment, power-building and platforming. We call this group ‘Pathfinders’.
