The [first round of funding](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/01/30/transform-foundation-offers-18000-grants-redevelop-charity-websites/) took place earlier this year.   The grant is principally aimed at charities with annual incomes between £350k and £30m, although smaller charities can also apply. Larger charities will also be considered for specific project or fundraising sites. Any type of non-profit organisation may apply, with successful applicants in the past including causes as diverse as community development, disability, education, theatre, mental health, hospices, national heritage, volunteering, family, children & youth, addiction, homelessness, international aid, and arts.   To apply for the grant or to find out more details, visit the [website grant programme](https://www.transformfoundation.org.uk/website-grants) section of the Transform Foundation website. * **[New website for Macmillan’s Brave the Shave campaign](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/07/11/new-website-macmillans-brave-shave-campaign/)**( 11 July 2017) * **[How to solve big problems and test new ideas in 5 days with a Google Design Sprint](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/08/11/solve-big-problems-test-new-ideas-5-days-google-design-sprint/)**( 11 August 2017) * **[Free websites offered to charities and community groups as part of world record bid](https://fundraising.co.uk/2018/07/18/free-websites-offered-charities-community-groups-part-world-record-bid/)**( 18 July 2018) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif) ## Comments ### By: Anon - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/05/08/second-funding-round-transform-foundation-website-grant-programme/#comment-2990 - Published: 2017-07-12T16:41:00+01:00 Would really recommend anyone planning to do this talks to some charities already on the Raising IT platform to hear about their experiences. I work in digital in the sector and haven’t heard many favourable reports. ### By: John - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/05/08/second-funding-round-transform-foundation-website-grant-programme/#comment-2991 - Published: 2017-08-03T23:29:00+01:00 The deal is simple they donate an imaginary £18k to an associated company, which uses a simple content management system the sort you could rent for £20 per month. You do all the work of entering content, then you find you have signed up for a 12 month contract with a £750 per month licence fee but hosting is included. So the £18k grant is in fact a £9000 bill.
