Digital funding for charities: England

Grants open to charities and community groups in England, including the National Lottery's Awards for All and Reaching Communities programmes, The Freemasons' Charity and The Dulverton Trust.

Awards for All is often the first stop for smaller groups because it covers a wide range of costs, and equipment and digital tools can be part of a bid when they support your activities.

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.
