The Worshipful Company of Information Technologists (WCIT) makes funding available through their IT4Good Grant Programme, which aims to support innovative projects and activities that use information technology (IT) to create positive impact through education, digital inclusion, charitable, and public engagement initiatives. This could include developing and delivering innovative new services, solutions, training, apps, analytics, AI, robotics, or accessibility features/hardware.

Registered charities, educational establishments, community interest companies, and other not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to £15,000 for IT projects that benefit communities and people across the UK. For a full overview of eligibility, please see their Application Guidelines (linked for your convenience).

Applications for funding may be submitted at any time and are considered by the Charitable Operations Committee at one of its four meetings a year, the next deadline is 5pm on Wednesday 7 May 2025. Decisions are usually communicated within 6-8 weeks of the application deadline – due to limited capacity, they are unable to offer individual feedback to unsuccessful applicants.

For questions and support during the application process, please email the WCIT Charity Coordinator via charity@wcit.org.uk or telephone 020 7600 1992.

WCIT members’ personal network of contacts can be a source of advice and guidance on many technical or business areas to help not-for-profit bodies get the best out of IT. If you require some independent, strategic level pro bono help for an IT project, then please complete the short online form and waiver found on the pro bono page. If you wish to apply for both funding and pro bono support for a project, then please proceed to the online grant application form, which has a section dedicated to requesting pro bono help.
