Catalyst & The National Lottery Community Fund COVID-19 Digital Response

We’re helping charities develop solutions to their data, design and digital challenges to delivering essential services, so that they can better support people and communities affected by COVID-19.

The COVID-19 Digital Response is being delivered by CAST on behalf of the Catalyst network, and is being funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. It will help address urgent issues which affect the most vulnerable.

Around £1.75 million will be made available in direct grants to nonprofits. This fund is aimed at enabling networks of charitable organisations to develop their digital, data or design approach so that they can better support vulnerable people and communities affected by COVID-19.

In addition to these grants, the funding will cover around £3.2 million of expert support, which will be provided to organisations along with tools and freely available shared learning resources.
