With funding from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, CAST convened a network of support for nonprofits from July 2024 until July 2026.
The network comprised 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.
Although the official funding period has come to a close, the initiatives all remain live, and the network members remain connected: we will continue to signpost to each other’s initiatives, and hope to work together via other opportunities to support the sector.
