The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology are looking to support eligible stakeholders across England, providing a range of individual grants to fund locally delivered, highly tailored and targeted interventions that meet the needs of digitally excluded people.
Applications can only be submitted by charities.
The total amount available is £7.242mn which is comprised of three types of funding:
Applicants will need to specify at least one category of funding they are requesting. They must also specify the amount being requested. Applicants can apply for a mix of funding from categories 1 and 3, or 2 and 3. However, applicants cannot submit an application that requests a mix of funding categories 1 and 2. This is because category 2 funding requests must meet the R&D criteria to produce ‘new knowledge’ while category 1 is focused on replicating and scaling best practice.
All applicants can apply for grants of £25,000 to £500,000 regardless of the organisation, category of funding, or region of England. All applicants should make clear the amount of funding being requested and how it will be spent.
Eligible charities and research organisations must:
The Energy Redress Scheme funds support for vulnerable energy consumers, the development of innovative products or services and the empowerment of consumers to reduce their carbon emissions.
Grants are available to UK registered charities and charitable organisations that are seeking to help particular groups of people move towards paid employment.
Small grants for constituted VCSE organisations to support arts, cultural and heritage projects and activities that give residents opportunities to experience culture in their communities.
