Grants

In this section you will find information regarding War Memorials Trust grant schemes, their eligibility criteria, closing dates for application and how to apply.

All of our grant schemes provide support to projects that aim to repair, conserve and preserve war memorials in their existing form as well as reinstate the memorial in its original design. Our schemes relate only to existing war memorials and no grant can be offered to support the creation of new war memorials or projects for which work has already started and/or is completed. Graves of any type are not eligible for support under any of War Memorials Trust grant schemes.

War Memorials Trust currently runs three different grant schemes. They all have different eligibility criteria and separate application forms. Deciding which grant scheme to apply for will depend on where in the UK the memorial is located, whether it is freestanding or not and what work you propose doing.

To find out more select the country in which your memorial is sited from the list on the left. Each country page provides details of the scheme or schemes relevant to that area.

PLEASE NOTE: The Grants for War Memorials scheme is undergoing revision. The new guidelines and application form will not be available until mid-March 2010. Please do not use any other application forms you may already have for this scheme.

The Small Grants Scheme remains unaffected and continues to run as normal.

All our grant schemes are open to anyone to apply, individuals or organisations. However if you are not responsible for the war memorial we do ask you to provide written proof that you have the custodian’s consent to carry out the proposed works.

It is highly unlikely multiple applications or applications to more than one scheme administered by the Trust will be successful. If you would like to clarify what is the most appropriate scheme to apply for or how to receive an application form, please submit an 'Expression of interest form' (see associated documents section on the right hand side) or contact the Conservation Team on 020 7233 7356 or conservation@warmemorials.org.
