Nominet Trust

The Nominet Trust was created in January 2008, with the declared aim of funding innovative Internet projects that make a positive difference to the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people, primarily in terms of education, safety and inclusion.

The Trust was initially awarded £5 million from Nominet, the Internet registry for .uk domains and will provide grants to organisations that can show that their innovative IT-related projects can make a positive difference to disadvantaged and vulnerable groups - in the UK, developing countries and around the world.

Organisations wishing to apply need initially to complete an online eligibility questionnaire. Those organisations deemed successful will be provided with a link to a more detailed application form. Grant applications will be considered by the board of trustees. They meet in May, August and November. Applicants will hear from the Trust in the month following each meeting.
