National Lottery Grants for Heritage - Grants of up to £10 Million

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.
