As part of our ongoing commitment to the fundraising sector, last year, in partnership with our friends at Fundraising Everywhere, we launched the Digital Learning Grant. A fully funded online learning programme designed to help charity or nonprofit professionals build better digital skills.
And wow, was it popular…we received nearly 800 applications for just 100 spots 😮
But even more impressive were the improvements participants in the 2023 programme reported:
- 104% growth in small charity digital tactics
- 44% improvement in email marketing skills
- 35% better digital leadership skills
- 54% growth event fundraising knowledge
- 113% boost in knowledge of behavioural science
- And so much more!
How good is that?!
Seeing these numbers, and also learning that over 60% of charities want to improve their digital skills but struggle because of their budget…
We’ve launched the programme again, this time with 200 spaces!
And applications are open now! Keep reading for more info, or jump the queue and apply right away.

But don’t just take it from us. Hear from 2023 Digital Learning Grant participant, Hannah, about how much the course helped her in her fundraising career:
“Being on this course has been so incredibly helpful for me. Being a fundraiser, I want to expand, as much as I can, the charity I work for now, and in the future.”
