Our campaigns, funding and insight help organisations care for heritage and support a resilient heritage sector.
Our current campaigns
These initiatives offer a mixture of funding, practical support and knowledge sharing.
Our current commitments
As the UK’s largest funder of heritage, we are uniquely positioned to lead and support the sector.
Available funding
We offer funding for projects from £3,000 up to millions of pounds. Our grants help protect and preserve heritage and connect people and communities to their history and traditions.
Every project we fund must ensure that a wider range of people will be involved in heritage and consider environmental sustainability.
