Key takeaways

Society for Computers & Law is most relevant to groups whose work is technology law education, which is the only theme its material names.
Its annual report shows £815 awarded in its latest reported year, and the one grant it records goes to an independently run Scottish charity that depends on the Society for its income, so a modest request is the most realistic ask.
No public application process is published, so start with the contact shown on its website rather than sending a formal request.
The sources do not say how grants are decided or when they are made, and they name no exclusions, so a short, specific enquiry about whether it funds work like yours is the sensible first step.
