National Lottery Grants for Heritage

The National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) have changed their funding streams:

  • Grants from £10,000 to £250,000: Open to projects of up to five years.
  • Grants from £250,000 to £10million: For projects of up to five years in duration (excluding the development phase).

Priority will be given to heritage projects that have:

  • A clearly focus on heritage
  • Take into account all four investment principles
  • Have a clear plan with a defined start, middle and end
  • Have not already started
  • Can demonstrate the need for National Lottery investment

The four principles from the NLHF that has come out of the 10-year strategy are:

  • Saving heritage
  • Protecting the environment
  • Inclusion, access and participation
  • Organisational sustainability.
