Creating device libraries in communities across Australia

Our grant funded network partners are creating device loan libraries to support over 50s in their community

Be Connected grants offered by Good Things empower community organisations to provide digital inclusion support to over 50s in their communities.

Our Digital Devices Grant is $5,000 funding to loan digital devices to over 50’s. We’ve funded organisations across Australia with Digital Device Grants, supporting them to create a device library for older Australians in their community.

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 creating digital device loan libraries in communities across Australia!
