What sort of projects does the WCIT Charity fund?
As an IT charity, all projects we fund must make use of information technology, and must relate to one or more of our priority areas – education, inclusion, IT for charities, and public understanding of IT.
Projects need to demonstrate an innovative use of IT, be scalable for wider replication, and be sustainable over time. As all of our grants are restricted, we expect recipients to produce formal reports on their outcomes.
Given the large number of applications we receive and the smaller number of grants we can actually make, it may be useful to understand which sorts of things are more or less likely to receive funding.
The WCIT Charity’s charitable objectives are:
- The advancement of education and training of the public in matters related to information technology.
- Promoting the effectiveness and efficiency of charities and the effective use of resources to achieve charitable purposes for the benefit of the public by the provision of advice and support in relation to information technology.
- Subject to 1 and 2 above, the provision of grants for such purposes as are charitable according to the law of England and Wales.
⏰ Deadline: 31st July (next round later in the year)
