Every great heritage project begins with a bold idea. However, turning that idea into action often requires funding, planning, and expert support. Whether you’re just starting out or refining your plans, IPC is here to help you secure the resources you need so that you can move forward with confidence.
That’s why we work with churches, charities, and cultural organisations to craft compelling cases for support, identify the right funders, and prepare persuasive applications that stand out. Because we understand what funders are looking for – ranging from capital works to community engagement – we can help align your vision with their priorities more effectively.
Since 2020, we’ve helped clients secure millions from major funders, including the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), Architectural Heritage Fund, Historic England, Garfield Weston Foundation, National Churches Trust, Benefact Trust, and many more.
So, if you’re wondering where to begin, or how to reach the finish line, we’re here to help you take the next step with clarity and confidence.

What kinds of funding can IPC help us apply for?

Yes. We offer tailored fundraising strategies, combining grants with other income sources like community campaigns, crowdfunding, donor schemes, and legacy giving.
