Funding

Notes for applicants

We’ve published the first three-year delivery plan for our new 10-year strategy, Heritage 2033. It includes details about our budgets and priorities, and forthcoming changes to National Lottery Grants for Heritage.

Applications for National Lottery Grants for Heritage from £3,000 to £250,000 and development round grants over £250,000 under our Strategic Funding Framework are currently closed. (Expressions of Interest and delivery round applications are not affected.)

From January 2024, we’ll re-open applications for grants from £10,000 to £10m under Heritage 2033, with new guidance and application forms.

Heritage can be anything from the past that you value and want to pass on to future generations. We provide funding for heritage projects from £3,000 up to millions of pounds.

Take a look at our various funding programmes and decide which one might be right for you.
