Closing the digital divide, together
Grant-funded digital programs, with the admin handled
Bytes & Biscuits helps Neighbourhood Houses and community groups access Good Things Foundation grants to deliver digital literacy support for older members - with training, delivery support and administration handled by us. You focus on your community. We handle the structure behind the scenes.
Is your organisation eligible?
If older people already trust your organisation and show up regularly, you have everything you need to get started. Community partnerships work well for:
A good fit
- Neighbourhood Houses and community centres
- Community groups and not-for-profits with regular older attendees
- Sporting clubs and associations with older members
What funding is available?
Good Things Foundation Building Digital Skills grants for outer regional areas - which includes all of East Gippsland - come in two sizes. Funds can cover delivery costs, marketing, devices, data plans and more.
$3,000 grant
Supports 15 older learners over 12 months. A great starting point for smaller groups and first-time partners.
$5,200 grant
Supports 37 older learners over 12 months, for organisations ready to reach more of their community.
We do the admin
We support you through the application and, if successful, help with ongoing administration and reporting so the grant is not a burden.
What does a partnership involve?
Not as much as you might think. Sessions fit around what you are already doing - before or after an existing program, alongside a morning tea, or at your regular weekly gathering. No new infrastructure, no additional staff.
The steps
- You identify older members who would benefit from digital support
- We support you to apply for Good Things Foundation grant funding
- If successful, we train Digital Mentors and manage delivery
- Sessions run at your venue, alongside your existing activities
- We handle learner registration, activity tracking and reporting
- You hold the grant contract and govern your own program
