Comic Relief - Tech for Good digital innovation
Created: 12/10/2016
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceComic Relief, working with the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, developed the Tech for Good programme to provide the opportunity for not-for-profit organisations that already have some technological capacity to take their digital innovation projects forward to create social change by delivering new ideas or more effective services.
The funding is for projects that use software and digital technology as a part of a solution to addressing any of the Comic Relief’s UK Main Fund themes of:
- Empowering Women and Girls;
- Investing in Children and Young People;
- Building Stronger Communities; and
- Improving Health and Wellbeing.
A wide range of digital initiatives that could lead to social change will be considered for the programme, but the aim is to fund projects that:
- Are focused on specific user needs;
- Make best use of web, mobile apps or internet based technologies to deliver a service;
- Scale effectively (have economies of scale); and
- Challenge existing ways of delivering services.
Projects should be able to make a significant digital step forward within four months and be able to demonstrate digital innovation for the benefit of society or the specific service users the organisation is targeting.
Grants of between £15,000 and £46,500 are available over four months, plus an additional £3,500 to enable access to expert support.
The deadline for applications is 3.00pm on Tuesday 01 November 2016 (3pm).
