Deadline: 30-Oct-20
The Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) is seeking applications for its Grant Programmes to help with assessing the viability of a project or to help fund development costs for projects based in Scotland.
Funding Information
- Project Viability Grant (PVG): Maximum: £10,000 – Average Offer: £6,000
- William Grant Foundation – Tailored Support Fund (TSF): Maximum: £10,000 – Average Offer: £7,500
- Project Development Grant (PDG): Maximum: £40,000 – Average Offer: £15,000
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. This grant is administered on a monthly rolling basis. They aim to let you know whether you have been successful within six to eight weeks.
- 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. Examples of situations they would welcome a discussion about include:
- emergency repairs
- meanwhile uses
- uplifts in existing funding due to unexpected situations/increased costs
- projects involving unlisted buildings that are still important heritage to local communities
- any other areas where other grant funding programmes cannot currently assist
- 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 coordinating a project and taking it towards the start of work on site.
