National Heritage Board Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Find out how you can access funding for Singapore heritage research and community projects through these national grants.

These grants provide financial support for initiatives that focus on preserving, studying, and sharing the cultural heritage of Singapore.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for individuals or groups who are working on projects related to Singapore heritage. If your work involves documenting local history, preserving traditions, or engaging the community through heritage-focused activities, you may qualify for this support.

What you get

The primary benefit is funding intended to assist with the costs of your work. This can include financial assistance for conducting in-depth heritage research or for organizing and executing community heritage projects that bring local history to the public.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but the process requires a significant commitment of time. You will need to dedicate effort to the initial application process to explain your vision. Additionally, once your project is completed, you will be required to undergo a post-project audit to verify that the funds were used correctly for their intended purpose.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that your project must align with the specific heritage objectives of the National Heritage Board. Even if your project is culturally significant, it must fit within the strategic goals and priorities established by the board to be successful.

How to apply

  1. Define the scope of your heritage project or research topic.
  2. Verify that your project goals align with the official heritage objectives.
  3. Prepare your documentation for the formal application process.
  4. Follow the submission instructions provided by the issuing body.
  5. Complete the mandatory post-project audit after your project is finished.
