Last updated: 02/02/2026

Lloyd’s Register Foundation’s Heritage Grants Call aims to fund ambitious, high-impact projects that support our heritage key themes and contribute to delivering the Foundation’s 2024-2029 strategy. This £2.5 million programme will support initiatives that strengthen heritage research, equity, safety, and public access, while advancing our global reputation as a centre of excellence in heritage management and learning from the past.
The Foundation has been working globally to engineer a safer world for many years, building on the legacy of Lloyds Register, dating back to 1760 as a maritime classification society. The heritage key themes aim to increase the understanding of maritime safety and its importance to the past, present and future ocean economy. Through this call we invite expressions of interest to help us to deliver this vision, mobilising heritage and cultural evidence, and widening perspectives to learn from the past. Find out more about the heritage key themes.
Please note, we strongly encourage applications that are internationally focused and foster collaborative, cross-sector, and interdisciplinary partnerships.
