The Worshipful Company of Information Technologists (WCIT) is a national charity that uses the power of technology for impact through digital inclusion, education, charitable, and public engagement initiatives across the UK.
Every year they support a variety of charities through their grant-making programme and by providing pro-bono support to organisations.
They make grants to projects that fall under one of the four priority areas:
- Enhancing opportunity for young people through more effective education
- Improving the quality of life for the disadvantaged, disabled or socially excluded
- Helping charities and other not-for-profit organisations get the best out of IT
- Improving the understanding of IT and its capabilities to the wider public
All the projects funded must make use of IT. They are more likely to fund projects which demonstrate an innovative use of IT, can be developed into a model for wider replication, are sustainable and focus on outcomes which can be formally reported on.
The WCIT also provide pro-bono IT support. If you require independent strategic level pro-bono help for your IT project, contact the Charity Coordinator via e-mail to discuss how they can help.
Who can apply?
Registered charities, educational establishments or organisations with a formal not-for-profit constitution (such as a community interest company).
