How much can we offer?

Last updated: 16 May 2011

The NHGP grant budget is limited. Scoring against the assessment criteria merely works out the priorities for projects.
Applications may be refused or offered a lower level of grant if there is insufficient budget or there are concerns about value for money or risks in delivering the outputs.

Grants are normally awarded at up to 75% of project costs or 60% of an organisations core costs.
Normally applications will be considered for grants of £500 to £300,000 (the maximum grant for buying land, access and countryside recreation projects is £120,000).

  

Our Natural Heritage Directorate has a separate budget for research projects. Contact the Natural Heritage Research Team on 028 9056 9648 for further details.
