Good Things network partners are supporting people over 50 with digital skills to feel safer and more confident online by taking part in the Be Connected program.
The Be Connected Building Digital Skills grant funds community organisations to run digital skills sessions and support people over 50 to feel safer and more confident online. $3,000 – $20,500 funding is available, plus free resources and training, so they can better deliver these sessions.
To get involved in any of these grant opportunities, community organisations part of the Good Things network submit an online application including a 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 newly funded network partners!
