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. For now though, please continue to apply for funding using our current guidance and outcomes.

Please note, the following National Lottery Grants for Heritage are now temporarily closed: 

  • project enquiry forms and applications for grants from £10,000–£250,000
  • development round applications for grants over £250,000 (delivery round applications and Expressions of Interest are not affected)

These programmes will reopen in January with new Heritage 2033 guidance.

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.
