Funding Opportunity - Digital Makers Fund

We received an email about this fantastic fund earlier this week, please feel free to circulate around your networks.
Digital Makers Fund - Opens 18 September 2013, closes 14 November 2013

Nesta and Nominet Trust (proud supporters of Make Things Do Stuff) are pleased to announce a second open call for ideas to significantly increase the number of young people who participate in digital making activities.

We want digital making to go mainstream. We want making with technology to become as accessible an activity as making music or making food. Ubiquity is a long way off, but we want to support initiatives that can take us closer to that goal.

The second call is backed by a fund of £250,000 and we expect to make a small number of grants between £20,000 and £50,000. Alongside the grant a package of tailored support will be offered; this includes expert advice and mentoring and access to Nesta and Nominet Trust's expertise, networks and event space

Please note: If you want to apply, a pre-requisite is attending a workshop or webchat – so you can ask questions and get a better understanding on the Fund. They’re holding a workshop in Birmingham on Ted 23 October (12:30-2pm, lunch included) at Fazley Studios - https://digitalmakersfund-23oct.eventbrite.co.uk/
