Behind Impact Jersey
In 2021, the Government of Jersey received a dividend from JT, £20 million of which was earmarked for the Technology Accelerator Fund in the 2022-2025 Government Plan. The Fund will provide funding for the Impact Jersey scheme.
The Impact Jersey scheme will focus on projects that benefit the island through the use of technology, enable progress and grow our economy, preserve our environment and make Jersey a better place to live.
The scheme is delivered by the Digital Jersey team. Click here to learn more.

Impact Jersey FAQs
Impact Jersey is not an investment fund. Impact Jersey will fund projects that will deliver value to Jersey to address strategic priorities set by government.
For each programme, the process for applying for funding will be set out on this website.
The maximum funding available for each programme will vary depending on the complexity of the programme.
If you feel like the process for assessing your application was not suitable, please contact us at [email protected] and we will provide access to the formal online complaint form. Complaints should include sufficient details, such as the nature of the complaint, date and time of the incident, relevant documentation, and the desired outcome. Impact Jersey will acknowledge the complaint within 48 hours, and an impartial complaint investigation will take place internally. Throughout this process, Impact Jersey will keep you informed. Once the investigation is complete, we will communicate the findings and proposed resolution to the complainant.
Conflicts of interest are vital in the context of Jersey, and therefore we have designed a process that highlights conflicts from as many directions as suitably possible. Initially, throughout the application process, you will be asked to identify if you have any known conflicts of interest with parties involved in the operation & decision-making for Impact Jersey. This can include anyone involved in the process within the Government of Jersey or within Digital Jersey. Additionally, conflicts with the impartial, independent judging panel will be identified and mitigated as part of the judging process. If a conflict arises it will be discussed, and where possible mitigated to enable as many islanders as possible to access funding. However, if no suitable mitigation can be put in place, a conflicted application will need to be rejected. If you want to understand more about whether you have any conflicts of interest when applying to Impact Jersey, please email [email protected].
