The Heritage Council's Grants Programme represents the most tangible manner in which the Council can help individuals, groups and agencies to manage, develop and conserve those aspects of their heritage that they value the most.
The Council has revised its grants system; three new grant schemes are now open for applications for 2010:
- Heritage Research provides assistance for data collection and research relating to Ireland’s heritage
- Heritage Management supports projects that apply good heritage practice to the management of places, collections or objects
- Heritage Education, Community and Outreach supports initiatives linking heritage to communities through education and outreach, promoting active engagement with and raising public appreciation of heritage.
Full details on making an application are now available on the Heritage Council website.
