The Heritage Alliance (HA) has updated and expanded its Heritage Funding Directory, the free online resource that brings together funding information into one place for the benefit of Alliance members and others.
Heritage Alliance writes:
This Directory is a key resource for the heritage sector, and the Alliance is extremely grateful to the Country Houses Foundation for sponsoring its revision and on-going maintenance.
Existing entries have been checked and updated. In addition Jeremy Eckstein, our consultant, reviewed an enormous number of non-heritage sources to check if these, with some creative thinking, could be used to deliver heritage outcomes. The results are encouraging – for example, revealing funds for village halls to be adapted for people with disabilities, interpreting commitments to quality of life and community, or developing community-owned village shops.
As Jeremy says: ‘Even if the front door doesn’t have your name on it, you may still find a way through the side door. This may be especially appropriate for historic churches’. But, he adds ‘Always read the criteria to avoid wasting your time and effort!’
The Directory runs in parallel with Funds for Historic Buildings, the Architectural Heritage Fund’s directory. Key in what you want – grant, loan, bursary – and what you want it for, and up come the relevant links to both directories.
