Clear all filtersFunders 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.
Can charities get funding for a website?
Yes. Several UK funders will pay for websites and digital projects, including the Fat Beehive Foundation, WCIT’s IT4Good programme and unrestricted funders such as The Fore and Garfield Weston. The strongest applications frame the website as a means to an outcome, such as reaching more beneficiaries or delivering a service online, rather than asking for “a new website”.
Are there grants for charity website development?
A few funders run programmes specifically for charity digital projects: the Fat Beehive Foundation gives grants of up to £2,500 in rounds through the year, and WCIT’s IT4Good programme funds charity technology projects. Most website funding comes another way, though: through unrestricted core grants, or as one of the costs of a wider project.
Can National Lottery funding pay for a charity website?
It can, as part of a community project. Awards for All England funds projects of £300 to £20,000, and a website can be one of the costs of delivering the activity, such as online booking or an information hub. It won’t fund a website on its own or anything aimed at fundraising.
What is the difference between core funding and project funding?
Project funding pays for a defined piece of work. Core or unrestricted funding pays for the running of the whole organisation, and you decide where it goes. Funders such as The Dulverton Trust and Garfield Weston offer core grants, which can cover a website as part of your normal running costs.
How much should we ask for?
Get a written quote first, then add running costs such as hosting, support and licences for the length of the grant. Our guide to what a charity website costs gives typical figures for small, medium and large charities.
Do I need a quote before applying for digital funding?
Most funders ask for a written quote with your application. It shows you have planned properly and budgeted realistically. We prepare free, application-ready website quotes for charities, usually within two working days.
