Guide to Grant Funding Sources for Heritage Organisations Guide to grant funding sources for heritage organisations May 2015 Introduction This guide aims to signpost fundraisers to some key sources of grant funding for heritage and heritage related activities. It covers mainly trusts and foundations, but it also includes some government and EU funds. Have we missed something? Did you apply for funding to any of the organisations in this guide? We would be very interested to hear about your experiences. If you have any comment or feedback please get in touch with Colin Gilfillan at Shared Enterprise CIC [email protected] Other grants and funding directories: There are other directories which can provide useful information about grants and funding. They include: NCVO Funding Central www.fundingcentral.org.uk Heritage Link www.heritagelink.org.uk Some subscription and online guides are available via Grantfinder or Funderfinder (you can usually access these free locally via your CVS or council or in some libraries etc) Others which require payments or subscriptions include e.g the Directory of Social Change www.dsc.org.uk – which produces some excellent priced directories 1 Funds for Historic Buildings www.ffhb.org.uk National Archives www.nationalarchives.gov.uk The Arts Council website provides a useful set of guides and resources http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/funding/apply-funding/other-sources-of-arts- funding/#direct Some thoughts before you apply..... 1. Research the funding source thoroughly 2. Make sure your organisation is eligible 3. Be clear about the funder’s objectives and criteria. 4. Are your objectives a good fit with the funder’s objectives and criteria? Is your ‘ask’ (i.e what you want to do with their money) in line with their criteria? 5. Is there a deadline? 6. Are you clear about the application process? 7. If possible, try to contact the funder to discuss your idea before applying. This can avoid wasted time on applications that are ineligible or do not meet the funders objectives. Many – but by no means all - funders encourage you to do this. 8. Have you applied to the funder before? Some funders have restrictions on re-applications within specified timescales. 9. Plan the process of applying. Who needs to be involved? How long will it take to complete? 10. Some application processes can take many months …. 2 Name of funding Criteria/points of interest Contact details Scale of funding Deadlines/other comments source where known Heritage Lottery The UK’s largest dedicated funder of heritage. www.hlf.org.uk £3k - £5million+ See thei r website for details Fund Has £375million to invest each year.

    THE CATORS OF BECKENHAM AND WOODBASTWICK Describes the rise of the family of Quaker John Cator from Ross on Wye to financial success in London and acceptance into the world of the landed gentry (1638-2002) __________________________________________________ About The Author Pat ricia Ridler was born at Blackheat h in 1929, the youngest in a family of three. Educated at the Beckenham County School for Girls and Imperial College, London, she is a scientist, not an historian. She married Michael James Manning, merchant navy engineer, in 1951 and they had three boys and a girl. Teaching fitted in with raising a family and so she t aught Mat hemat ics and Science, especially Biology at her old school. Retirement gave Pat the chance to write and she established Jenna Publishing in memory of her dog Jenna to put her first two books into print.

  • SPRING 2005.Qxp:Pg 5
    Post Office to Issue Liberator Stamp! Official Publication of the: — SEE BACK PAGE — Volume 44 Number 1 Spring 2005 JIMMY STEWART, BOMBER PILOT THE NEW BOOK WRITTEN BY STARR SMITH, WITH FOREWORD BY WALTER CRONKITE The untold story of his greatest role: World War II bomber pilot and decorated war hero, told by one of his fellow officers. f all the celebrities who served their country during World War O II — and they were legion — Jimmy Stewart was unique. On December 7, when the attack on Pearl Harbor woke so many others to the reality of the war, Stewart was already serving — as a pri- vate on guard duty at the Army Air Forces’ Moffet Field, south of San Francisco. Seeing war on the horizon, at the height of his fame after Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Jimmy Stewart had en listed several months earlier. Jimmy Stewart, Bomber Pilot chronicles the star’s long journey to become a bomber pilot in combat. Author Starr Smith recounts how Stewart’s first battles were with the AAF’s high command, who insisted on keeping the naturally-talented pilot out of harm’s way as an instructor pilot for B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators. We learn how, by mid-1943, Stewart managed to get assigned to a Liberator squadron in the 445th BG that was deploying to England to join the Mighty Eighth Air Force — and how, once in the thick of it, he rose to command his own squadron and flew 20 combat mis- sions, in cluding one to Berlin.

  • NADFAS and St George's Are Working Together to Discover the Location of Some Garter Banners That Once Hung in St George's Ch
    NADFAS and St George’s are working together to discover the location of some Garter Banners that once hung in St George’s Chapel. Take part in a search for the Garter Banners of some deceased Knights of the Garter. NADFAS (The National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies) and St George’s are working together to try and locate as many as possible of the Garter Banners for which there is no known location; an article appears in the NADFAS review published in mid February. The list of locations, as known at present, appears at the end of this article. Edward III founded the Order of the Garter, the country’s most senior Order of Chivalry, in 1348. Originally Companions of the Order (as Knights of the Garter are sometimes known) consisted of the Sovereign, The Prince of Wales and 24 others. Since those early days two other categories have swelled the numbers. They are “Stranger Knights” who are Sovereigns of other countries, and members of the British Royal Family other than the Sovereign and The Prince of Wales. The spiritual home of the Order of the Garter is St George’s Chapel. A banner hangs high above the stall of each of the current Knights of the Garter in the Quire of the Chapel. Some of the heraldic designs have been passed down over many generations whilst others have been granted in very recent times. Whatever the date of their origin the banners, together with the wooden crests displayed on top of each Knight’s helmet and the stall-plates of both living and departed Knights form a unique, spectacular and colourful display in the beautiful 15th century building.
