Digital funding for charities: Older People

Grants for charities supporting older people, including The Allen Lane Foundation, The Clothworkers' Foundation and The Freemasons' Charity.

Digital inclusion is a common theme here. A clear, accessible website and offline routes to the same help tend to go down better with these funders than a flashy app.

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.

The Long Version

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.
