Charity Digital explore how organisations can access free tech, discounted tech, free tech consultations, free tech resources, free tech through digital life hacks, and so much more…

We live in precarious times. Economic uncertainty followed the pandemic, complete with a struggling currency, rising inflation, labour shortages, stifled  productivity, trade disruptions due to Brexit and the invasion of Ukraine, and so on.

And now, to top it all off, we have been hit by a cost-of-living crisis, one caused by high inflation and low wage growth and exacerbated many of the  factors mentioned above.

So it’s a tough time for all of us. And it is especially tough for charities. The cost-of-living crisis has led to a cost-of-giving crisis, with less appetite for donations. That means charities, at the exact moment they face increased service user demand, have less funds to meet that demand.

The vast majority of economic crises are ephemeral, and we’ve already noticed signs of optimism on the horizon, but organisations still need to take steps to address declining funds, practice economic resilience, and ensure long-term financial viability. That’s why free tech is so important, as it promises a quick and easy way to cut expenditure in the present and future.

But too many charities are simply unaware of their options or fail to take advantage of the opportunities. That’s why we want to help. We want to make the whole process seamless, showing you all the many options available, and highlighting ones that might speak to you.

We look at the best places to find free tech, the discounts and donations and freebies that can streamline your operations, and the free advice you can receive to make the most of your tech.
