Nominet Trust – Digital Edge Programme (UK)

The Nominet Trust has announced that the next advisory closing date for 
its Digital Edge programme is the 27th November 2013.
The Digital Edge programme aims to support projects that use new 
technology to engage young people in new, more meaningful and relevant 
ways and enable their participation in building a more resilient 
cmasociety. Organisations that can apply for funding include:

•Not-for-profits organization
•Schools, PTAs, universities or other educational establishments
•Statutory bodies e.g. local authorities
•Social enterprises
•Other grant-making bodies to make awards on behalf of the Nominet Trust.

There is no upper or lower funding limit as the Trust like to encourage 
applicants to be realistic about what they need to achieve their project 
objectives.

Previously projects supported through the Trust include:

•Pottery Primary School, Belper, which received funding towards the 
costs of printed material to raise awareness to parents, children and 
the community of internet risks and safety measures.

•An educational theatre project aims to help young people better 
understand and address issues around cyber bullying.

The Advisory Stage 1 date is set to allow enough lead time for 
successful applicants to have sufficient time to complete their Stage 2 
application. There is also a final deadline date for Stage1 
applications; any applications received after this date will not be 
included in the current funding round.

The final deadline for applications is the 11th December 2013.
