Aims/priorities: The Capability Grant, part of the Fix The Digital Divide Fund 2024-2025, is for organisations who have some experience delivering digital inclusion support already.
This grant provides an opportunity to further develop your organisation’s capacity to deliver digital inclusion support and ultimately help more people to either gain digital skills or access free mobile data.
Previous successful applicants have used the Capability Grant to:
- help build partnerships that allow them to distribute more data by covering staff time or working on a local campaign
- refresh an IT suite used to provide Learn My Way support
- design and implement a training programme for staff and volunteers to develop their confidence to help people accessing data and support.
Each Hub will be provided the opportunity to access support from one of our Network Ambassadors.
Who can apply? We welcome applications from organisations across the UK who want to develop their digital inclusion offer.
Any member of the National Digital Inclusion Network can apply for a Capability grant, no matter where they’re based or who they support, but you cannot apply for an Impact Grant at the same time.
Organisations who received either a Digital Inclusion Impact Grant or a Digital Inclusion Capability Grant through Fix The Digital Divide Fund 2023 to 2024 are eligible to apply.
Please note: all Hubs must pass a financial due diligence check and an identity check where once has not recently been undertaken before a grant is awarded and accept online Terms & Conditions.
Grant amount: A £6,000 grant for members of the National Digital Inclusion Network who want to add to or boost their current digital services.
Application process: Please note that you need to download and complete the supporting information form before you start your application.
Once you've completed the form, please continue with your application.
Full eligibility criteria can be found in the Grant Description & Application Guidance.
Deadline: Thursday 6 June 2024, 12 midday.
