(NLHF) National Lottery Heritage Funding Application Success

It is now far harder to be awarded National Lottery Heritage Funding than it has ever been, whatever the size of your Heritage or Cultural project.

This is mainly due to the fact that the National Lottery Heritage Fund now requires that any application will have to meet their prioritising of their “outcomes” as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

These NLHF outcomes basically assist them in understanding the difference your project will make to the community once it’s completed.

However it doesn't have to meet all of their outcomes, although the more it covers the great chance of success. For example; will your project boost the local community financially and make it a better place to live, work or visit?

Of course it has always required applications be presented with a clear and professional business plan. This plan is supported with design plans, concepts, budget and clearly laying out the goals and aspirations of the project.

SMA design workshops are designed to focus on achieving these requirements in order to provide a successful application grant or funding.

After carrying out our first NLHF (previously known as HLF) project back in 2005 we have maintained our 100% record of achieving National Lottery Heritage Funding for the projects we have partnered.

SMA design having been providing this successful solution in the form of museum design and application workshops since 2010.

These design & application workshops help museums and organisations to focus on the really important matters, thereby making sure all the essential boxes are ticked.

These workshops are run at the location of your choice, so are extremely flexible. This makes it far easier to have interested parties able to attend and participate in the entire development.

The workshops are affordable, cost effective and exploit even the tiniest of budgets. They can in certain circumstances be paid for by the NLHF themselves. 

Our National Lottery Heritage Funding workshops are always oversubscribed. So if you’re in the process of applying for NLHF funding, then don’t waste any time in calling us.

Together we will offer your project the greatest possibility of NLHF application success!
