Not-for-profit organisations across the UK can now apply for grants of between £250,000 and £10 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for projects connecting people and communities to UK heritage.
The funding can be used to support a broad range of activities and project costs, such as:
· volunteer expenses, new staff posts and training costs
· capital works, repair, maintenance and conservation
· professional fees, event costs and activities to strengthen organisations
· acquisition of heritage and costs associated with the purchase
· costs to join Fit for the Future, a UK-wide environmental sustainability network
Projects must take into account the National Lottery Heritage Fund's four investment principles:
· saving heritage
· protecting the environment
· inclusion, access and participation
· organisational sustainability
Partnerships are encouraged.
Up to 10% match funding is required.
The next deadline for applications is 12 pm on the 21st November 2024.
