Sponsored memberships are available for anyone in an under-represented group in tech. This includes (but is not limited to): people of colour, LGBTQIA+ people, women and people with disabilities.
You can also apply if you feel particularly isolated and/or lonely working from home. We understand that not everyone can afford the level of coworking membership they need.
We have a limited number of sponsored memberships available each month. If you already have a membership and need support please tick the relevant box.
The answers you give are strictly confidential and will only be viewed by Jonathan and Anna Markwell.
Applications will be reviewed at the end of each month.
We aim to let all applicants know by email the outcome of their application. If you have any questions or concerns, please email hello@theskiff.org (which both Jon and Anna receive).
Your application will be treated with the utmost privacy and we will not publicly announce who the sponsored memberships go to (though you're welcome to say so yourself).
Please only share what you are comfortable sharing.
This programme was inspired by the scholarship programme set up by Remy and Julie Sharp for ffconf.
Initial spaces have been funded by 15 Skiffmates who provided financial support to The Skiff during lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.
