globaljustice.org.ukAbout Global Justice Now Trust
Global Justice Now Trust is a democratic social justice organisation, established over 25 years ago, that promotes studies in political, economic, and social sciences for public benefit. Its mission is to foster a more just and equal world by addressing systemic inequalities through research, education, training, and poverty relief. Rooted in values of democratic participation, equity, global solidarity, and evidence-based transformation, the Trust emphasises participatory approaches that build capacity, generate evidence, and influence policy. What sets it apart is a proactive, invitation-only funding model, selecting eligible charities through trustee networks rather than accepting unsolicited applications.
What Global Justice Now Trust funds
The Trust funds UK-wide projects in England and Wales focused on social science research, public education, training, advocacy campaigns, and community engagement. Priorities include initiatives that advance understanding of political, economic, and social issues, particularly for marginalised groups, with support for capacity building and public benefit activities that demonstrate clear impact. Funding is available for specific restricted projects that tackle root causes of disadvantage, such as poverty, inequality, and social exclusion.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities, typically small to medium-sized organisations. The Trust prioritises those working in social justice, research, and community engagement, with a focus on disadvantaged communities. Organisations are pre-selected by trustees through their networks, and unsolicited applications are not accepted.
What Global Justice Now Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund core costs, capital projects, or emergency relief. Grants are limited to specific restricted projects, and unsolicited applications are not accepted.
