[cma-l] Funding News: Community Outreach 2011-12 Grant Fund [England only]

[CMA-L]

New funding application round open - England only.

Thanks to the financial support of Nominet Trust -
http://www.nominettrust.org.uk - applications are now being sought to
fund organisations wishing to develop their outreach activity, reach
new audiences or communities and help people take their first steps
online.

Grants of up to £5,000 are available to for both revenue and capital
expenditure.

Applications close on 19 August 2011, with projects taking place
between September 2011 and 31 March 2012.

UKOnline is particularly interested in supporting projects that want
to use unusual places and spaces to learn. Organisations can register
any location where people do learning – UKOnline is not just
interested in established training organisations that reach digitally
excluded people. If you can meet the minimum criteria described in
this funding round, and you have access to people that you will help
to access and use the internet, UKOnline wants to hear from you!

The key is to show us you understand where the people are that need
help, and you have the vision and the expertise to reach them.
Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate they can:

    * Deliver a social impact as a result of their activity
    * Evidence their community as being ‘hard to reach’
    * Hold at least one supported training session per week
    * Take part in Get online week in a meaningful way
    * Attract people that have never used the internet before, or
don’t have the skills and confidence to go online without support
    * Collect/collate evidence of their learners’ contact details for
evaluation purposes.

Please read the documents on the website below carefully before
submitting your online application. If you have any further questions
or queries, don’t hesitate to contact UKOnline at
ukonlinecentres at ufi.com.
