UK charities can apply for funding of up to £2,500 to help them improve their online digital presence. The funding is available to charities with an average income of less than £1 million a year to support hard-to-fund digital expenditure that other funders will often not cover. Funding will help organisations to build websites and apps, digitise services, and purchase digital products. Priority will be given to projects which focus on environmental protection or climate change mitigation, human rights, international development, equality and diversity, social justice / refugees / housing, education, art and culture, health and wellbeing, and prisoner rehabilitation. The funding is being made available through the Fat Beehive Foundation and applications are considered on a rolling basis at quarterly trustee meetings. Click here
