New Dates for National Lottery Grants for Heritage over £250,000
Funding to connect people and communities to the national, regional and local heritage of the UK.
Not-for-profit organisations and third sector-led partnerships in the UK can now apply for the largest grants within the National Lottery’s Heritage programme.
Until the end of the 2022/23 financial year, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, priority will be given to projects that:
- Promote inclusion and involve a wider range of people (mandatory outcome).
- Boost the local economy.
- Encourage skills development and job creation.
- Support wellbeing.
- Create better places to live, work and visit.
- Improve the resilience of organisations working in heritage.
The programme provides three levels of grants, with those under £250,000 offered on a rolling basis:
- £3,000 to £10,000 (for up to one year).
- £10,000 to £250,000 (for up to five years).
- £250,000 to £5 million (over five years).
Grants can cover a wide range of projects and cover most costs associated with direct project delivery including staff/volunteers, training, repair and conservation and digital outputs.
The next deadline for grants up to £5 million is 23 February 2023.
