Tech for Good 2018

21 Nov 2017 - 15:06 by michelle.foster

Comic Relief with Paul Hamlyn Foundation has launched another UK Tech for Good funding programme. This will fund up to 12 digital projects each with grants of up to £47,000. Comic Relief and Paul Hamlyn Foundation are inviting proposals to develop or scale web, mobile or internet based technologies which deliver new or improved services to beneficiaries. Comic Relief

The projects will last for nine months and will include:
• A two month soft development phase (July-Aug 2018)
• An intense four month hard development phase (Sept-Dec 2018)
• A three month launch phase (Jan-Mar 2019)

Projects must address one of four programme areas: Empowering Women and Girls, Investing in Children and Young People, Building Stronger Communities or Improving Health and Wellbeing.

This programme aims to provide the opportunity for not-for-profit organisations, who already have some technological capacity, to take their digital innovation projects forward. Comic Relief and Paul Hamlyn Foundation are looking to fund teams to make a significant digital step forward within nine months.

A wide range of digital interventions will be considered and the aim is to fund projects that:
• Are focused on specific user needs in their design, delivery and development
• Make best use of web, mobile or internet based technologies
• Can scale effectively and offer economies of scale
• Disrupt and challenge existing ways of delivering services
• Are sharable with other parts of the not-for-profit sector

Grants are available for between £15,000 and £47,000. The maximum project duration is 9 months
