*Important Grant Programme Information*
'Young Roots' and 'Your Heritage' programmes: Due to the high number of applications received and severe competition for our funding, HLF Wales are unable to accept any more applications to these programmes. We are however accepting applications under the revised 'Your Heritage' and 'Young Roots' programmes, both of which have a simpler application process and a 10-week assessment period. We will begin processing these applications from September 2008 and decisions will be taken in competitive batches. The revised 'Young Roots' and 'Your Heritage' application materials and extensive guidance are now available on-line. We still encourage all applicants to seek pre-application advice at the earliest stages of developing a projects.
Pre-application Service
We welcome the opportunity to give you early advice on your project. Whether your project requires £500 or £500,000 we recommend that you contact us as soon as possible. Please fill in the pre-application enquiry form and we will get back to you as soon as we can with some advice on your project and its suitability for an HLF grant.
