Launched by Comic Relief and Paul Hamlyn Foundation
The Tech for Good programme was developed in response to the need for charities to use technology to explore different approaches to delivering better services.
The COVID-19 crisis has since increased the need for organisations to explore how digital and design approaches can be used to create more impact for the people they work with.
The Tech for Good 2021 ‘Build’ programme will enable organisations or partnerships to define, test and develop digital solutions over nine months that meet a social need or challenge.
Applications that want to adapt or re-purpose existing technology to increase impact in their service delivery are also actively encouraged; the re-use of tools which already exist can be just as important and effective as building something new.
Grants of up to £70,000 are available.
Closes at noon on 12 February 2021
