Explore the heritage of the First World War with grants of £3,000–£10,000. This programme has a short application form, and is suitable for everyone, including first-time applicants.
The First World War affected millions across the globe and shaped the world we live in. The Centenary is a chance to understand the war better, uncover its stories and explore what it means to us today.
Everyone should have the chance to discover more about the war and mark the Centenary. That’s why the Heritage Lottery Fund are providing this special grant programme for community projects. You can apply at any time up to 2019.
