These funders support work on inequality and disadvantage: poverty, exclusion, discrimination and fair access to services. Many of them, including The Robertson Trust and John Ellerman Foundation, prefer to fund an organisation's core work over one-off projects.
A website or online service fits best when it removes a barrier, for example making it easier for people to find help, refer themselves or get advice out of hours.
Each fund page says whether it's likely to cover a website, what a typical grant looks like and when to apply. Funds that have closed are hidden here but stay in the full Funding Finder, so you can plan for the next round.

John Ellerman Foundation
John Ellerman is a core costs funder for national changemaking charities. If most of your work fits its priorities, you can apply for unrestricted core funding of up to £180,000 and decide for yourself where it goes, including digital. It isn’t for local-only organisations.
Paul Hamlyn Foundation Youth Fund
Core funding for youth organisations with turnover of £30,000 to £3.5 million, usually at least £30,000 a year for three years. No project funding.
The National Lottery Community Fund
National Lottery grants over £20,000 for community organisations in England, covering running costs, delivery, development and buildings.
The Robertson Trust Large Grants
Funding of £20,000 to £50,000 a year for Scottish charities with income of £200,000 to £2 million supporting people facing poverty and trauma.
The Swire Charitable Trust
Swire funds charities working on opportunity for vulnerable people, UK nature and heritage. It awards many grants unrestricted and will pay for core costs and capital spend, so a website or digital project is fair game if your work fits one of its programmes.

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.
A written quote shows funders you’ve planned properly and budgeted realistically.
Write your application around reach, access or service delivery, and let the website be the means.
Before you draft anything, check the fund’s income band, region and deadline. Most funders offer a quick eligibility checker on their own site.
