Subject - Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF)

Posted : (Thursday 18th August 2005 ) By - jane (Registered User)The AHF is a registered charity, founded to promote the conservation of historic buildings in the UK by providing advice, information and financial assistance in the form of grants and low interest working capital loans for projects undertaken for the benefit of the community by building preservation trusts and other charities. Only organisations with charitable status are eligible for financial assistance from the AHF. Any charity with a qualifying project is eligible to apply for an Options Appraisal Grant, a Refundable Project Development Grant or a loan, but the AHF's other grants are reserved for BPTs - charities established specifically to preserve historic buildings. Financial assistance is available only for buildings that are listed, scheduled or in a conservation area and of acknowledged historic merit. Projects must involve a change either in the ownership of a property or in its use.
