National Lottery Heritage Fund

We are the largest dedicated grant funder of the UK’s heritage. Locally connected and with UK-wide expertise, we are a change-maker working to enhance and champion the value of heritage for all. Since we were established in 1994, we have awarded £8.6billion of National Lottery and other funding to more than 50,000 projects across the UK.

• As The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we distribute National Lottery grants from £3,000 to £5million and over, funding projects that sustain and transform the UK’s heritage.
• As The Heritage Fund, we distribute non-Lottery funding, including grant in aid/government funding and loans, to heritage organisations.
• We provide leadership and support across the heritage sector, and advocate for the value of heritage.
