What Cultural Heritage projects, plans, and reports may be funded by Lottery Environment and Heritage?

Lottery Environment and Heritage makes cultural heritage grants to:

protect collections that are at risk of being damaged or lost
projects that will make collections easier for people to access and enjoy
projects to tell our stories, and especially for young people to learn about and experience our cultural heritage
projects that conserve or protect moveable cultural property, such as photographs, paintings, furniture and other artefacts
prepare plans, studies or reports that will help achieve cultural heritage projects.
The Lottery Environment and Heritage Committee is more likely to fund requests with or for conservation or restoration plans that accord with the ICOMOS New Zealand Charter for the Conservation of Places of Cultural Heritage Value. The link to that Charter is here.

The following types of cultural heritage projects may be funded:

building of museums, art galleries or archive facilities
redevelopment or upgrades of museums, art galleries or archive facilities
setting up education centres for young people within existing museums
building of memorials for events or people that are important to our history

researching, writing and publishing projects that have local, regional or national significance
