Grants from £1,000 to £500,000 are now available as part of Historic Environment Grants which replaces a number of HES’s previous funding programmes including its Repair Grant and Support Fund schemes.

Historic Environment Grants will be open largely to not-for-profit organisations such as charities and community groups, to help support Scotland’s historic sites and buildings.

There are three funding streams available:

• express grants of £1,000 to £25,000,
• small grants of £25,001 to £100,000, and
• large grants of £100,001 to £500,000.

Expressions of interest can be submitted throughout the year, and applications will be accepted all year for express grants and three times per year for small and large grants.

To be considered for funding, applicants must be able to show how their project can contribute to key priority areas including engagement, place making, repair and resilience, climate action, skills and the economy.

As well as supporting repairs, applications can also be focused on other aspects of Scotland’s historic environment including archaeological excavations and research and outreach and learning activities.
