2019 Funding Programme Open for Applications (+5 Top Tips)

February 4, 2019 By Joe Roberson

2019 Funding Programme Open for Applications (+5 Top Tips)

Over the last nine months this website has published 35 articles on funding and running a Tech for Good project.

All to help you get ready for funding and running your own one.

Together we’ve learnt a lot

We’ve helped you learn about user, social and financial value. We’ve talked about laying the foundations for success and failure, and we’ve interviewed current grantees about what they’ve learnt. It’s all here.

If you’ve read even one tenth of the articles you’ll be more familiar with the concepts and principles of building impactful tech in a careful and user-centred way. You’ll be primed on how to do good user research and think through your assumptions before applying to this programme (or any other). You’ll be in a better place to apply.

But even if you haven’t read anything yet, don’t worry. Read on!

Tech for Good 2019 is Open

Last week we announced a three year partnership commitment to funding Tech for Good with the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. Today we’ve published details of the 2019 programme.
