Deadline: 31-Jul-21
The Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) has announced a call for applications for its Grant Programme to help with assessing the viability of a project, or to help fund development costs for projects based in Scotland.
Programmes
- Project Viability Grant (PVG): Project Viability Grants (PVG) are to fund studies to look at potential uses for a building and at its current condition, and usually produce a Viability Report to a standard template. Successful completion of this will be used to judge whether applicants can then apply for the AHF’s Project Development Grant funding, and can be used to secure further funding elsewhere.
- William Grant Foundation Tailored Support Fund (TSF): This is intended to help organisations and projects that may not fit well within the criteria for the other grant programmes. Projects applying to this fund will generally be characterised by:
- a strong community-led ethos;
- a desire to give new purpose to a building valued locally for its architectural heritage;
- plans that demonstrate strong social, economic or environmental benefits that help meet local need.
- Project Development Grant (PDG): The Project Development Grant (PDG) scheme is intended to assist an organisation to cover some of the costs of developing and co-ordinating a project and taking it towards the start of work on site.
