The Fund is part of the wider £1.57billion Culture Recovery Fund, which is the Government’s
biggest one-off investment in the sector to date.

 

 

 

The [Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage](https://www.heritagefund.org.uk/funding/culture-recovery-fund-for-heritage)
is open to:

 

 

 

 * Heritage organisations managing a heritage site or visitor attraction
 * Private owners of a heritage site, venue or attraction
 * Organisations managing, maintaining or caring for culturally significant assets
   or collections
 * Businesses that are a vital part of the heritage ecosystem, including conservators,
   contractors, specialists and suppliers

   England)

 

 

 

The deadline for applications is midday on Monday 17 August.

 

 

 

Grants are available from £10,000 up to £3million. Applicants need to have a plan
for how they will operate and be sustainable for the remainder of this financial
year. They also need to be able to demonstrate their international, national or 
local significance. Smaller, local organisations should demonstrate the role they
play in cultural engagement with people from all backgrounds, the opportunities 
they create and how they benefit their local community and area.

 

 

 

Funds will be distributed by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England
on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

 

 

 

Sir Laurie Magnus, Chairman of Historic England said:

 

 

 

> “This crucial funding will help the organisations and businesses who look after
> our locally-cherished historic sites. It is a recognition that investing directly
> in historic places can bring wide ranging social benefits, inspiring communities
> to engage with their past and encouraging creativity, regeneration and growth.”

 

 

 

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden added:

 

 

 

> “This support package will protect buildings, organisations and people to help
> ensure our wonderful institutions, big and small, pull through Covid.
> “We’re publishing guidance so organisations know how to access help. We’re also
> calling on organisations to be creative in diversifying their income streams and
> the public to continue supporting the places they love so this funding can be 
> spread as far and wide as possible.”

 

 

 

The wider Culture Recovery Fund will see grants of up to £3 million allocated to
arts, cultural and heritage organisations. Separate portions of the funding are 
being distributed by Arts Council England for arts and culture, and the British 
Film Institute for film and cinema, and in collaboration with The National Lottery
Heritage Fund.
