The National Lottery was established in 1994. Lottery funding for good causes includes heritage projects and charities. Lottery money is distributed by 13 independent National Lottery distributing bodies.[1]
Heritage Lottery Fund
The Trustees of the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF), known as the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), distribute money raised by the Lottery that is allocated to heritage. HLF is a non-departmental public body accountable to Parliament via the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It is the largest dedicated funder of heritage in the UK, distributing over £400 million each year with individual grants upwards from £3,000.
Typically HLF grants are in the form of match funding. These require the applicant provides a proportion of the project cost from the applicant’s own funds or raised by them in the form of other grants and donations. This can also include an in-kind amount, costed for volunteer hours that will be worked on that project.
