The Heritage Organisations Support Fund aims to build the capacity of non-governmental organisations working in the heritage sector in Ireland by providing funding towards their core costs.

This funding would provide support to:

• develop and strengthen the skills, processes, and resources that heritage organisations need to survive, adapt, and thrive in the uncertainty of recent times.
• heritage organisations who play a key role in the heritage infrastructure of Ireland and to help achieve national policy and plans.

Funding available:
The maximum amount available per organisation is €60,000. We envisage the average offers to be in the €30,000 – €60,000 range and that about 30 to 40 organisations will be supported by this scheme. Funding will be allocated on a competitive basis. This will be in line with the assessment criteria set out on Page 10.

Organisations that fit the following criteria are eligible to apply:

Company Type: Your not-for-profit organisation must be established as a Company limited by guarantee (CLG) and must not be controlled either directly or indirectly by any state or other body.
