Overview

To qualify, an organisation must have established that the end use of the project is likely to be viable and have decided to take the project forward.

The maximum amount for a PDG is up to £25,000. The total may include a combination of non-recoverable professional fees of up to £15,000 and project organiser costs also of up to £15,000.

Eligibility

Organisation

You must be a registered charity or a not-for-profit organisation that is formally constituted and has a legal structure. If you are not sure whether this covers your organisation please contact us. Private individuals, commercial developers or other commercial companies are not eligible.
Partnership applications are welcomed but both organisations have to be charities or not for-profit organisations and one has to be the lead applicant, with a formal partnership agreement in place.
Applicant organisations must have in their authority (contained within their governing document) the power to borrow money, own property, and charge a loan against assets including property. If you are uncertain about this please contact us for advice.
If the AHF considers that you have sufficient uncommitted cash reserves, this may be taken into account when assessing the application.

Buildings

The building must have statutory protection through listing, or be in a conservation area and of acknowledged architectural or historic merit, and be at risk (on account of functional, structural, financial and/or other problems).
The building must be capable of beneficial re-use.
