Notes:
To be eligible for funding under the English Heritage ALSF Programme, projects must:
1. be directly related to the impact on the historic environment of the extraction of aggregate that is subject to the levy
2. aim to reduce, rather than compensate for, the impact of aggregate extraction
3. be additional to activity in English Heritage's existing grants programmes
4. be additional to mineral operators' obligations through planning conditions
5. be delivered in England

Archaeological projects must in addition meet English Heritage's strategic priorities for archaeology which are currently set out in the Implementation Plan for Exploring our Past 1998 (EoP98).
Marine projects must meet English Heritage's strategic priorities for the marine historic environment which are set out in Taking to the Water.

Community Benefit
English Heritage is committed to widening access to, and understanding and enjoyment of, the historic environment. All projects funded through our ALSF Programme should, wherever possible, deliver these aims through programmes of outreach, education, interpretation and community involvement.

Joint Working & Partnership Funding
We encourage project proposals which promote partnership and joint working across different stakeholder groups and constituencies: the aggregates industry, local government, commercial contractors, the higher education and research sector, other environmental agencies, community groups and not-for-profit organisations, and the independent and voluntary sector.
The English Heritage ALSF Programme has no requirement for partnership funding but applications which bring partnership funding or some other resource contribution, and so lever-in additional resopurces for the historic environment, will be particularly welcomed. For eligible sources of partnership funding please see our Guidance Notes page.

We are happy to consider applications where joint funding is also being sought from English Nature and/or The Countryside Agency and/or CEFAS (for marine projects).

Notes:
Grants made by the Trustees are awarded to institutions for the purposes of research, academic interchange, and education;

Much of the largest part of the Trusts annual income goes into grants to institutions for purposes of research, however excavation projects are excluded from funding. Only archaeological projects concentrated on technical experiment and innovation are eligible.

The Trustees rarely support very large projects and applications for amounts in excess of Ł100,000 should be of exceptional quality and significance.

Notes:
Established in 1987 for the study, promotion and understanding of Islamic Art History, Architecture and Archaeology, both the Barakat Trust (U.K.) and the Barakat Foundation (U.S.A.) are non-profit charitable organisations. Through the generosity of individual and corporate donors, Barakat provides financial support for students and scholars of Islamic culture. This assistance is granted with the hope that scholars will continue to add to the body of Islamic scholarship while enhancing the possibilities of cross-cultural understanding and tolerance.

Barakat operates exclusively for educational purposes, providing scholarships and grants in specific areas of study at accredited world institutions. Exhibitions, conferences, conservation projects and publications are also supported.

Applications are considered once a year by the Executive Committees of the Trust and Foundation, and each application is considered on its own merit. Financial support awarded by Barakat varies depending on individual circumstances. To qualify for support, proposed projects should show promise of genuine and useful contributions to knowledge, and be consistent with Barakat’s overall aims.

Notes:
Its aim is to encourage excellence in archaeological drawing, including the preparation of finished drawings for publication. It is hoped that awards will help individuals to improve their standards of draughtsmanship and also enable the preparation of a larger number of drawings, of higher quality, than might otherwise have been possible.

Applications, to be submitted by January 31 or June 30 each year, should specify the name(s) of the proposed draughtsman/men. Individual applicants must show that drawings are an essential part of their research. Furthermore, although not a precondition, it is hoped that they may be draughtsmen themselves. Applications from project directors, who may also apply during the course of a field campaign, are limited to unexpected expenses that are not provided for in the project's budget, such as extra maintenance costs to enable a draughtsman to draw unforeseen material and finds.

Up to three grants per annum are available. Grants are unlikely to be more than Ł200. (The Fund does not support printing expenses, or site drawings such as plans and sections, or computer graphics.)

Candidates should submit letters of application to the School's London office by post in four copies (British School at Athens, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU) or by email (bsa@sas.ac.uk).

Letters should not be longer than two pages and should include a statement of the purposes of the application and a budget and timetable for the proposed work, together with the name and address of a referee whom the awarding panel(s) may consult. Recipients of awards must have been admitted as members of the School for the appropriate session before receiving their grants, and must submit a short report on the use of the grant to the London office by October 31. The awards will be made by a panel or panels chosen by the School's Research Committee and will be announced within a month of the closing dates.
