The Cleary Fund
Grants for Historic Building Conservation
The Group’s Executive Committee act as the Fund’s Trustees. Grants are awarded annually to a small number of projects which focus on the repair of Georgian fabric. Applicants are asked to specify the maximum sum they are seeking from the Cleary Fund. As the sums involved are small, the intention is therefore to prime schemes, prompt other sources to make grants and to fund specific elements in larger schemes.
If you are unsure whether you require LBC/Planning Permission/Faculty, you should contact your local authority/Diocese.
The Trustees meet annually in September to consider all applications received over the year. The deadline for applications for is 1st September.
