Funding to Tackle Digital Exclusion (Leeds)

Grants of up to £10,000 are available to third-sector organisations tackling digital exclusion in their communities.

Leeds Community Foundation, in partnership with Leeds City Council, will award the grants to support the development and delivery of sustainable digital inclusion actions, ensuring that individuals and communities have the skills, support, and equipment to be active online.

A mixture of grant sizes will be awarded, split between:

  • Up to £5,000 to smaller organisations, primarily for conducting test and learn activity.
  • Up to £10,000 for larger organisations, primarily for expansion of existing activity.

The grants could be used to purchase equipment, expand staff capacity, test new interventions, implement initiatives like Digital Health Hubs, or establish sustainable digital skill support sessions.

It is expected that between 8 and 16 grants will be awarded.

The application deadline for the Leeds Digital Inclusion Fund is 12pm on the 11th July 2024.
