Be Connected grants offered by Good Things empower community organisations to provide digital skills support to over 50s in their communities.
Our Building Digital Skills grant is $3,000 – $20,500 funding to run a digital skills program supporting over 50’s to be connected. By providing the Be Connected program for free using this grant, recipients help older people to develop their digital skills and confidence.
Community organisations submit an online application including project plan and budget, outlining how the funds will be used and the impact it would have in their community. Applications are assessed and reviewed by our grants team in line with the grant guidelines for each round.
Congratulations to our network partners funded to deliver digital inclusion initiatives in their community between July and December 2024!
