The DPO Centre is accepting applications for grants of up to £10,000 to help organisations across the UK access data protection consultancy advice and services and ensure that they run efficiently and remain compliant with the law.
Through the Charity and Community Fund, a total of £100,000 is available across two funding rounds in 2025 for charities and not-for-profit organisations to achieve the following outcomes:
- Provide immediate access to subject matter experts and a broadly experienced team of data protection professionals.
- Remove 'unknowns' experienced when conducting a similar process internally.
- Decrease the potential for compliance failure across an organisation.
- Provide a substantial reduction in regulatory and reputational risk.
- Improved trust, increased engagement, reputation, and organisational value.
Grants can be used to cover up to 80% of the total project costs and can be used for services such as:
- Information Asset Register and Data Mapping.
- Policy Drafting and Review.
- Impact Assessments and Gap Analysis.
- Data Protection Training.
- Data Sharing and International Transfers.
- Privacy-by-Design.
- Data Protection Readiness.
There is a two-stage application process. Groups should first submit an online application through the DPO Centre website. DPO will then contact successful groups to complete a full application.
The next deadline for applications is 1 October 2025.
