And here's another potential funding source - this time gathered from
smrforum. it looks especially appropriate to MIDAS style inventory
devlopers.

Apologies to list members who are getting these via subscriptions to several
jiscmail lists, but its useful to share this sort of information.

P.S. I think is the case that UK pound symbols get gtranslated into 'A3' in
jiscmail digests - so that should read grants of five thousand to fifty
thousand, rather than thirty-five thousand to three hundred and fifty
thousand pounds! (but we can dream ...)

Apologies for Cross-Posting

List members may be interested to know about a recently launched awards
scheme from the Heritage Lottery Fund, called "Your Heritage". The =
scheme

- Increase understanding and enjoyment of our heritage;
- give people a better opportunity to experience heritage by improving
access;

and
wider public.

The scheme will support activities that:

all
ages and backgrounds;
- aim to widen participation especially from people who have not been
involved in heritage before, and disadvantaged groups;
- increase popular involvement in recording and conserving the =
heritage;
- involve volunteers and the local community in our heritage.

The key features of the scheme are:

- It offers grants between =A35,000 and =A350,000 (but the total cost =
of any
project receiving an award must be more than =A35,500 and less than =
=A3100,000)

- Applicants must raise at least 10% of the projects costs

- It is available throughout the UK

- Decisions on funding are usually made 3 months after the application =
form
is received

- A pre-application form can be submitted if applicants are unsure =
whether
their project is suitable
