Aware of the increased cost of goods and services, as seen in their grant application data, National Lottery Heritage fund has increased their entry level grants to £10,000 and the upper threshold of grants to £10 million (or more in exceptional circumstances).
They have also:
- Improved links between pages on their website.
- Reduced the length and complexity of their application guidance and the number of questions you must answer.
- Streamlined the process for grants from £10,000–£250,000.
- Updated their approach to paying out grants.
If you’re a not-for-profit organisation, a private owner of a heritage asset, or a partnership and have a project that will run for no longer than five years that also considers Heritage Grant’s four investment principles, these may be the grants for you.
The four investment principles:
- Saving heritage
- Protecting the environment
- Inclusion, access, and participation
- Organisational sustainability
- All four principles must be considered in your application.
Extra information:
- Your project must not start before a decision is made.
- There are no deadlines.
- You can get advice on your project before you apply by submitting an optional Project Enquiry.
- Applications will be assessed, and a decision made in eight weeks.
- Payments for this grant level are usually made in three stages: 50% in advance, 30% in advance, and then 20% in arrears.
