WCIT – IT4Good Grant Programme

This grant focuses on encouraging charities to pilot new technologies that will create efficiencies in the organisation, improve the lives of beneficiaries, or be scalable to the wider Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector. It does not cover funding for off-the-shelf hardware, software, networking or telephony costs, or the creation or hosting of websites, unless they are for the explicit use of beneficiaries.

This could mean a grant may be considered if the website is the intervention, and the people the charity exists to help are the users. Examples that would fit:

• A self-management portal for people living with a health condition
• An online learning or skills platform for service users
• A searchable directory or signposting tool beneficiaries use to find help
• An accessible communication platform for, say, deaf or visually impaired service users
