Digital Marketing Grant Scheme

Apply for the Achieve Foundation Digital Marketing Grant to support your charity with a new website, hosting, and SEO services to boost your digital presence.

Digital Marketing Grant Overview

The Achieve Foundation Digital Marketing Grant Scheme is designed to support registered charities by helping them develop their digital presence. This includes providing grants for the development of a new website, domain, hosting, maintenance, and SEO services for 12 months. The grant is aimed at charities that currently do not have an adequate digital presence and require support to establish their online identity.

We are committed to ensuring a fair, transparent, and impactful grant-making process that aligns with our charitable objectives. Grants will be awarded to charities that meet the eligibility criteria and demonstrate the potential for significant public benefit through enhanced digital capabilities.

Please Note:
This is a rolling grant fund, and while we encourage eligible organisations to apply, the availability of grants may close without notice depending on fund capacity.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the Digital Marketing Grant, your organisation must meet the following requirements:

Registered Charity

The applicant must be a registered charitable organisation. We are particularly keen to help grassroots community groups and small-to-medium-sized voluntary organisations. We do not typically support large charities unless the project demonstrates substantial potential impact.

Alignment with Charitable Objectives

Projects must align with the Achieve Foundation’s charitable objectives, including promoting education, relieving poverty, and advancing health and well-being.

Lack of Effective Digital Presence

This grant is open to charities without a functional, impactful website or effective digital marketing services. Charities with limited or outdated online capabilities are welcome to apply.

Good Governance

The charity must demonstrate strong governance structures, including a board of trustees and appropriate financial management systems.

Timeline

This is a rolling grant programme. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and funding decisions will be made accordingly. The availability of the fund may close without prior notice, so we encourage early applications.

Application Process

Interested organisations must submit an online application using the form below.

Submit Supporting Documents

Along with the form, charities must upload proof of registered charity status.

Review Process

Applications will be reviewed to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria. If shortlisted, additional documents may be requested.

Selection Criteria

Applications will be assessed based on the following:

Relevance: The alignment of the project with our charitable objectives.
Impact: The potential of the project to deliver significant public benefit.
Feasibility: The charity’s capacity to deliver the project within the proposed timeframe and budget.
Sustainability: How the digital tools provided will continue to support the charity’s work beyond the initial 12 months of support.

Grant Agreement

Successful applicants will be required to enter into a Grant Agreement outlining:

The amount of funding awarded.
The terms and conditions of the grant.
Monitoring and evaluation requirements.

Monitoring and Reporting

To ensure that grants are used effectively:

Charities will be required to submit regular progress reports.
A final report must be submitted at the end of the grant period, detailing outcomes and the impact of the digital services provided.

What Happens After 12 Months?

For charities that are successful in receiving the Digital Marketing Grant, the support provided covers website development, domain registration, hosting, and maintenance for a full 12-month period. After this time, charities will have two options:

1. Renewal Application: Charities may reapply for continued support, including website hosting and maintenance, through the Digital Marketing Fund. Renewal is not guaranteed and will be subject to the availability of funds and the charity’s ability to demonstrate continued need.
2. Self-Sustained Management: Charities may opt to take over the ongoing management of their digital presence independently. During the 12-month grant period, we encourage charities to develop internal capabilities or make arrangements to ensure the sustainability of their online presence after the grant support ends.
