The Fat Beehive Foundation - Websites and Digital Products Grants
Created: 19/08/2024The Fat Beehive Foundation is an independent UK registered charity that provides small grants for websites and digital products to other small UK registered charities.
Their aim is to help these organisations carry out their work in a more efficient and effective way, resulting in positive social benefit.
They only fund charities with an average income of less than £400,000 a year. As they aren’t a large funder, they provide highly specialised grants up to £2,500 and can’t fund every charity that applies to them.
Priorities for support
The Fat Beehive Foundation can only support a limited number of projects, based on the funding available for distribution in any given year.
The priority for this round of funding is Environmental Protection or Climate Change Mitigation
What they don’t fund
Their funding programmes are very specific. They aren’t a general IT funder and hence don’t fund general software or hardware procurement projects.
They’re keen for funding to have a genuine impact, so they don’t fund organisations without the internal resources to make the project a success.
Although they recognise the critical importance of funding core costs or staff time, they are unable to do this. They focus purely on hard-to-fund digital expenditure that other funders will often not cover.
The bulk of funding is provided by Fat Beehive Ltd, and to avoid any conflicts of interest the Fat Beehive Foundation will not provide grants to charities that already use or would like to use Fat Beehive Ltd’s services.
They do not fund organisations set up to promote religion.
