HOW WE CAN HELP

Get your heritage project ready for funding

Whether you’re exploring an idea or preparing a grant application, ConserveConnect can help you identify suitable funding routes and decide what to do next.

We can help you work out what surveys, cost estimates or specialist advice you may need. We’ll agree the scope and any fees with you before further work begins.

Your request is private

ConserveConnect reviews your request privately. We’ll agree with you what project information can be shared and with whom before sharing it outside ConserveConnect.

Funding decisions rest with individual funders. ConserveConnect does not award grants or guarantee funding.
