Call for Applications: Small Grants Scheme for heritage-related projects led by Civil Society in EU neighbouring countries

Opening date: 23 January 2024 – Closing date: 31 March 2024

The European Heritage Hub project – co-funded by the European Union and run by a consortium of 20 partners led by Europa Nostra – is launching a Small Grants Scheme to support projects protecting cultural heritage in EU neighbouring countries. This initiative is supported by the ALIPH Foundation. 

The European Heritage Hub Small Grants Scheme aims at encouraging and empowering heritage stakeholders from 11 neighbouring countries of the European Union (Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo*, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Ukraine) to become active protagonists of the wider European heritage movement, enhancing their capacity to respond to Europe’s green, digital and social transformation. 

Countries in these regions – both candidates and potential candidates for EU accession or EU close neighbours – are confronted with an armed conflict, addressing  post-conflict challenges, or require actions to prevent possible future conflicts. The European Heritage Hub Small Grants Scheme will thus provide support for projects in line with the objectives of the call:

  • Building the capacity of civil society;
  • Enhancing the key role of cultural heritage for the Triple Transformation
    of our society, economy and the environment (green, digital and social);
  • Building peace, stability, reconciliation, intercultural and interreligious dialogue through heritage-led activities.

Projects are also expected to contribute to the principles of the five pillars of the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage reflecting the common set-up for heritage-related activities at European level, primarily in EU policies and programmes. 

The European Heritage Hub Small Grants Scheme is an agile and flexible funding instrument for allocating small grants to heritage projects led by civil society organisations based in the eligible non-EU countries listed above. It will support initiatives of 3 sizes: 

  • Small projects – Grants ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 EUR
  • Medium projects – Grants ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 EUR
  • Large projects – Grants ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 EUR 

For more information on the eligibility and selection criteria, please read carefully the Call for applications.
