For the past year, CAST has been supporting The Clothworkers’ Foundation’s Open Grants Programme and specifically their grants for digital infrastructure. And whilst we’re continuing to support work on this valuable funding programme, we’ve also identified the need for a bigger and more flexible fund, designed to meet wider sector needs, such as access to hardware, software, AI and digital support. To respond to these needs effectively, CAST and The Clothworkers’ Foundation are looking to establish a Collective Digital Fund. This collaborative model will allow funders to pool resources, learn together and respond flexibly to the digital needs of the sector, while keeping the process straightforward for charities. It will also enable funders to invest in digital transformation across the sector without requiring in-house digital expertise.  find out more
