With funding from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, CAST is currently convening a new network of support for nonprofits. This will be in place in its current form for at least two years (until the summer of 2026), although we hope and expect to be connected for much longer.
The network comprises seven initiatives: Agencies for Good, Design Hops, Digital Candle, Digital Leads Network, Digital Trustees, Dovetail and The Curve - as well as a reuse infrastructure strand, providing support to enable reuse of open, sector owned technologies. We will be working together to align activities so that as many people as possible can benefit from all initiatives.
