The Heritage Fund writes:<\/p>\n
We\u2019re ready to support innovative and ambitious projects that share our vision for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future.<\/p>\n
“If there\u2019s something from the past that you care for and want to pass it on to future generations, we want to hear from you.”<\/p>\n
Eilish McGuinness, Chief Executive of The National Lottery Heritage Fund<\/em><\/p>\n Our Heritage 2033 strategy is centred around a\u00a0simplified framework of four investment principles: saving heritage; protecting the environment; inclusion, access and participation; and organisational sustainability.\u00a0<\/strong>You must take all four principles into account in your application. The strength of focus and emphasis on each principle is for you to decide and demonstrate.<\/p>\n Mindful of increased costs for goods and services, and responding to trends in our grant application data, we\u2019ve\u00a0increased our entry level grants to \u00a310,000. This is in addition to\u00a0our earlier upper threshold increase to \u00a310m\u00a0(we may even consider investing above \u00a310m for truly exceptional heritage projects).<\/p>\n To\u00a0simplify your experience of applying for a grant, we\u2019ve:<\/p>\n Your opinions and expertise have been crucial to the development of Heritage 2033 and we will continue to listen and respond. We have designed an application process that can adapt to your feedback and we\u2019ll update you when we make changes.<\/p>\n We remain committed to flexibility and supporting the sustainability of organisations in these challenging times. If you have urgent or exceptional needs, please\u00a0contact your local team.<\/p>\n Eilish McGuinness, Chief Executive of The National Lottery Heritage Fund, said: \u201cThanks to National Lottery players, we\u2019re able to invest \u00a3870m across\u00a0our first three-year delivery plan\u00a0in projects of all sizes that connect people and communities to the UK\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n \u201cWe see heritage as broad and inclusive. If there\u2019s something from the past that you care for and want to pass it on to future generations, we want to hear from you.\u201d<\/p>\n Explore our new National Lottery Heritage Grants\u00a0application guidance for grants from \u00a310,000\u2013\u00a3250,000<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0from \u00a3250,000\u2013\u00a310m<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re considering applying to us for the first time, start with\u00a0learning more about what we fund<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0how to understand and explain your heritage<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s changed<\/h2>\n
