How to apply

The Heritage Lottery Fund has introduced new application material for all its programmes. This section provides all the information you will need to choose the right grant programme for your heritage project. 

Online applications
Online pre-application advice forms and application forms are now available for the following programmes:

• Heritage Grants (grants of more than £50,000)
• Your Heritage (grants of between £3,000 and £50,000)
• Young Roots (grants of between £3,000 and £25,000 for young people celebrating heritage)
• Townscape Heritage Initiative (grants of between £500,000 and £2,000,000 that help communities to regenerate the historic parts of their towns and cities)

We strongly recommend that you read the application introduction and help notes for the programme that you want to apply to before sending in a preapplication enquiry. However, if you wish to edit or review your current application form then log on here.

Once you are logged on you will be able to see a list of all of your cases with HLF. This includes pre-application enquiries, first and second round applications and live projects. To access these you will need your unique reference number. All application material and guidance is also available to download in PDF form.  

PDF application forms and material
We are currently working at creating online applications for the following targeted programmes. These are currently available in PDF format, but we now have a Word version of the Landscape Partnerships first round application form.
