The Big Lottery Fund has announced that it will be launching a new Digital Fund on 22nd October to offer dedicated digital funding support to the sector.
The move is a key step in delivering the Fund’s digital ambitions outlined in its ‘Supporting Charities and Community Organisations Strategy’ and follows recognition that more could be done to enable charities and groups to make the most of digital opportunities.
The £15 million Digital Fund will operate for two years and will award grants of up to £500,000. The first funding phase is open to applications from 22nd October to 3rd December and has two funding strands.
