Heritage Grants for County Kilkenny have been announced by the Heritage Council and people wishing to submit applications online for the Heritage Grant Scheme must do so by the closing date of this evening (Friday) November 20 at 5pm on the following website: www.heritagecouncil.ie

The 2010 revised Heritage Grant Schemes will see grants being allocated under the categories of heritage research, heritage management and heritage education, community, and outreach.

Heritage research grants will provide assistance for data collection and research relating to Ireland’s heritage. Heritage Management Grants will support projects that apply best heritage practice to the management of places, collections or objects. Heritage Education, Community and Outreach Grants will support initiatives linking heritage to communities through education and outreach, promoting active engagement with our natural and cultural heritage, and creating awareness of the vulnerable and threatened aspects of heritage.

The Heritage Grant Schemes are open to individuals, non-profit organisations, local community groups, heritage and preservation societies, local authorities, statutory organisation, academic institutions, and private companies. All project work must be carried out in Ireland during 2010.
