Grant News
Third sector organisations across Scotland can apply for multi-year funding to support projects and activities that have a nationwide impact on Scotland’s historic environment sector.
The funding, made available through Historic Environment (HES) Scotland’s Partnership Fund, will support the costs of delivering up to three different areas of activity for up to three years.
Activities could include:
- professional or volunteer training programmes addressing recognised historic environment skills gaps at a national level
- developmental, advocacy or capacity-building activities
- outreach activities or learning programmes delivering high-impact outcomes for audiences across Scotland
The fund is part of its commitment to supporting a resilient, skilled, and inclusive historic environment sector that delivers public benefit at scale.
There is no set limit on funding requests, but each request must demonstrate strong value for money. This includes ensuring an appropriate level of match funding. As a guide, applicants should aim to request no higher than 50% funding from HES.
The fund is open to expressions of interest until the 15th August 2025.
Those successful at this stage will be invited to submit a full application by the 12th September 2025.
