Harnessing Heritage Project Development Grant (PDG)
Open
Last updated: 17/06/2025

AHF’s grant programmes in NI have been made possible by the Department for Communities (DfC) and Garfield Weston Foundation.
Project Development Grants are intended to assist an organisation to cover some of the costs of developing and co-ordinating a project to enable it to secure capital funding and take it towards the start of work on site.
To qualify, an organisation must have established that the end use of the project is likely to be viable and that they have decided to take the project forward.
