Community Grants

How a Heritage Foundation Community Grant could help you…

If your Letchworth Garden City club or organisation needs financial assistance for a project or initiative, the Heritage Foundation might be able to help. Alternatively, you may be a Letchworth Garden City resident looking for some financial support towards an individual goal. Community grants are part of the Heritage Foundation’s annual £2m+ programme of charitable distributions.They aim to encourage and support Letchworth Garden City clubs, organisations and individuals in their work with the community. Provided your project benefits people in Letchworth Garden City and meets one of the Heritage Foundation’s six charitable objects, it may qualify for a grant of up to 50% of the total costs.
