Large corporations have significant power, and checks and balances are inadequately developed, particularly for trans-national corporations, including the largest digital platforms and intermediaries. They are interested in funding work which:

develops and promotes mechanisms which increase the accountability and responsiveness of companies to shareholders, stakeholders, regulators and the long-term public interest, for example through improvements to corporate governance, corporate structures (including alternative corporate forms), company reporting or regulation
develops and promotes mechanisms whereby those who suffer severely as a result of company actions, particularly marginalised groups, can gain access to justice
promotes the application of the same standards of accountability to large digital companies as other commercial organisations, for example with respect to taxation, consumer protection, treatment of minorities and the protection of rights
encourages a constructive dialogue across private, public and civil society sectors to define and develop values and norms of corporate accountability and transparency in relation to new digital technologies.
Strengthening democratic accountability

In a healthy democracy, government should be representative of the wider public and in touch with a wide range of groups, but not disproportionately influenced by any single interest. They are interested in funding work which:

At this time of crisis, JRCT is keen to support work that responds to the dual harms of the Covid-19 pandemic and systemic racism. Specifically, they wish to encourage work that scrutinises the responses and policies of powerful institutions and actors, and which envisions and builds support for transformative social change based on justice, peace and sustainability, including work which:

Scrutinises and holds the government and/or corporations to account for systemic inequalities, injustices or abuses of power arising from their responses to Covid-19, including in relation to corporate bailouts, public procurement or worker support schemes
Examines how the media (including social media) landscape has been affected by Covid-19 and its effectiveness in holding government and key actors to account during the pandemic
Envisages how corporations could transform their purpose and practices to better address stakeholder concerns, sustainability imperatives and the long term public interest as part of recovery from the pandemic and seeks changes to support this
Identifies ways in which to build upon the widespread community activism arising during the pandemic to reinvigorate our democratic governance and institutions.
Eligibility Criteria

JRCT is interested in funding work which:
is about removing problems through radical solutions, and not simply about making problems easier to live with
has a clear sense of objectives, and of how to achieve them

Within its areas of interest, the Trust makes grants to a range of organisations and to individuals.
