The Long Version

How to get a website funded

Funders rarely say yes to “we need a new website”. They say yes to outcomes.

Every fund in this directory can pay for a website or digital project; the application just needs to lead with what the website delivers, not the website itself.

1. Get a quote before you apply

A written quote shows funders you’ve planned properly and budgeted realistically.

2. Fund the outcome, not the object

Write your application around reach, access or service delivery, and let the website be the means.

3. Check eligibility first

Before you draft anything, check the fund’s income band, region and deadline. Most funders offer a quick eligibility checker on their own site.
