Heritage Grants

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar gives heritage grants to approved voluntary heritage organisations for heritage purposes. Approved organisations are Comainn Eachdraidh.

Demand for heritage grants is high so please read the guidelines carefully.

There will be two separate rounds of funding for 2022-2023:

• Round One: Only Form A will be accepted (applications for Heritage Grants).

This is to allow all groups the opportunity of applying for funding that will help them with running costs.

The deadline for Round One is 4th September 2022.

• Round Two: Only Form B will be accepted (applications for Heritage Organisation Equipment Grants).

This round will only be for the under-spend after Round One.

Round Two will not open till 30th September 2022, with a deadline of 31st October 2022

Please note the following with regard to all applications:

• Applications will only be processed if correctly completed.
• All evidential documentation must be attached as no monies will be reserved until this is received.
• We are unable to approve applications for Heritage Equipment Grants retrospectively.
• Any grant application that is regarded as contentious, or may appear to set a precedent, will be referred to the Sustainable Development Committee for consideration.
• When the grants open each year full guidelines, application and claim forms are available on Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s website at:
