Community-Based Heritage Grants Scheme

The Heritage Council administers the Community-based Heritage Grants Scheme.  The purpose of the Community-based Heritage Grants Scheme is to support community-based projects that contribute to one or more of the following themes:

  • Researching the heritage of towns, villages and landscapes;
  • Enhancing, through good management practice, the heritage of towns, villages and landscapes; and
  • Raising awareness of the heritage of towns, villages and landscapes for inhabitants and visitors.

 

Eligible projects that can be considered under the scheme include the preparation of conservation reports/plans; community-led research on placenames, field names, oral history and oral heritage (intangible heritage); conservation specifications for the repair of structures or buildings; minor repairs to heritage buildings and structures at risk; conservation of heritage collections, objects and documents; conservation or management of a wildlife site; support for community-based publications, websites and interpretative material; and heritage seminars and events.  Work has to be completed by November 20, 2015.  Applicants compete with applicants from all over the country.  The grants usually cover between 30% and 50% of the work but, in exceptional cases, this can be up to 75%.  Applications to the Community-based Heritage Grants Scheme can only be made using the on-line application system on the Heritage Council website by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 20, 2015.  Further details on the Community-Based Heritage Grants Scheme are available from:
