APPLICATION FORM Cultural Protection Fund PAGE 14

SECTION THREE: Cultural protection focus

3a. Describe the cultural heritage which your project aims to protect.

The Fund is targeted at cultural heritage under threat in one or more of the Fund’s target countries. Cultural heritage includes many different things from the past that communities value and want to pass on to future generations, for example:

• archaeological sites and monuments

• collections of objects, books or documents in museums, libraries or archives

• historic buildings

• historic landscapes, gardens and parks

• cultural traditions such as stories, festivals, crafts, music, dance and costumes

• histories of people, communities, places and events

• the heritage of languages and dialects

• people’s memories and experiences (often recorded as ‘oral history’).

Provide a description of the cultural heritage your project aims to protect. If your project focuses on training people to manage, promote or look after cultural heritage, describe the particular skills that are the focus of this project.

Note relevant heritage designations (if any) and provide an explanation of what is important about the heritage, including whether it is:

• a source of evidence or knowledge

• of aesthetic, artistic, architectural, historic, natural or scientific interest

• of social or community value

• of economic value.

Explain who values the cultural heritage, such as the local community, visitors and/or experts.

Maximum 300 words.

APPLICATION FORM Cultural Protection Fund PAGE 15

3b. Describe the threat faced by the cultural heritage.

Describe the nature of the threat faced by the cultural heritage. For example, physical cultural heritage in conflict zones may be at risk of damage or destruction due to armed conflict; theft, pillaging or misappropriation; or vandalism. Intangible cultural heritage may be at risk of loss due to the fragmentation of communities or other events associated with conflict. Other examples of risks to cultural heritage include poor management, inadequate storage and/or documentation and a lack of specialist skills relating to the care and management of cultural heritage.

Maximum 300 words.

APPLICATION FORM Cultural Protection Fund PAGE 16

3c. Does your project involve work to physical heritage such as buildings, monuments or collections?

Yes No

Fill in as appropriate. Applicants are required to attach proof of ownership or legal permission to carry out any proposed physical work. If this is not available at the time of application, it will be required before permission to start the project is granted. Please note that due to the scope of the fund, capital projects involving significant amounts of redevelopment or new building work are unlikely to be a high priority for funding.

First box – maximum 50 words.

Second box – maximum 100 words.

If yes: What is the name of the cultural heritage asset and where is it located or held?

If yes, does your partner organisation own the cultural heritage asset outright?

Yes No

Yes No

If no, when will this permission be in place?

Use this table to provide a summary of the costs of your entire project. You will also need to provide a separate spreadsheet showing how these summary costs are broken down. When completing the table, you should only fill in the cost headings which are relevant to your project. Please read the following notes before filling in the table:

VAT (Value Added Tax)• If you are liable to pay VAT on certain costs

incurred in the UK, you should include irrecoverable VAT in the VAT column for all relevant costs. Do not include VAT in the cost column in column three.

• The British Council cannot provide advice on VAT liability. Any queries should be directed to HM Revenue and Customs.

• We cannot authorise the transfer of any part of the project costs to or from VAT. This means that if you underestimate VAT, you will have to pay the extra costs, and if your VAT status changes so that you can reclaim more than you expected, you will need to return the relevant portion to us.

CAPITAL COST HEADINGSRepair, conservation or restoration workIncludes the costs of work to repair, restore or conserve a heritage item or site.

Other capital workThis includes costs relating to other capital work, such as physically protecting or securing cultural heritage site or assets, producing new interpretation or displays and creating digital outputs.

OtherInclude any other costs. In your separate spreadsheet please include a clear description.

Full cost recoveryPlease read about Full Cost Recovery in Part one: Introduction of the Application Guidance.
