Deadline: 30-Jun-20
The National Lottery Heritage Fund has put together a £50million fund to support the heritage sector as an immediate response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
They will continue to support more than 2,500 projects that they have already committed to – an investment of more than £1billion.
“Heritage has an essential role to play in making communities better places to live, creating economic prosperity and supporting personal wellbeing. All of these are going to be vitally important as they emerge from this current crisis.”
Priority
Priority will be given where:
- there is limited or no access to other sources of support
- where heritage is most at risk
- where an organisation is at risk of severe financial crisis due to coronavirus (COVID-19)
Funding Information
The £50m fund is available for grants of between £3,000 and £50,000.
Eligibility Criteria
It is available to organisations across the full breadth of heritage, including historic sites, industrial and maritime heritage, museums, libraries and archives, parks and gardens, landscapes and nature.
Organisations which have received funding in the past or are either a current grantee, or still under contract following a previous grant, can apply.
Applicants must be:
- a not-for-profit organisation, and
- a current or previous recipient of a grant directly from them, and
- an owner, manager or representative of heritage, or be able to show you have delivered participatory heritage activity
