Grant guide
Digital inclusion grants checked for access and skills fit
Digital inclusion funding is usually about who is excluded, what barrier is being removed and how the project will evidence better access, confidence or outcomes.
Teams deciding where to spend application time
Charities, councils, research organisations, consortium leads and delivery partners supporting people excluded by device, data, skills, disability or employment barriers.

Find digital inclusion grants and check whether a project fits access, skills and evidence requirements.
Review workflow
What FundingLens helps you do
Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.
Define the exclusion barrier: lack of devices, connectivity, confidence, accessibility, safety, language, employment readiness or access to essential services.
Check applicant type, delivery geography, target cohort, safeguarding, data protection, accessibility and whether the project is new or already funded.
Record evaluation evidence early because digital inclusion funders often want more than activity counts; they need to see what changes for participants.
Readiness checks
- Target group and digital barrier are specific.
- Device, data, skills or accessibility costs are eligible.
- Safeguarding, privacy and inclusion controls are assigned.
- Evaluation plan and outcome evidence are proportionate.
- Closed-fund examples are not treated as live grants.
Eligibility caveats
- Some government digital inclusion funds are closed but still useful for eligibility models.
- Local digital inclusion grants can be place-specific and time-limited.
- Digital access work should not be over-claimed without evidence of participant outcomes.
