Important historical buildings and memorials are often owned or run by charities and faith groups. We provide grants that help them to maintain these structures. Memorials Grants Scheme The Memorials Grant Scheme allows faith groups and charities that look after statues and monuments to claim grants equal to the VAT amount they pay on upkeep and improvement works. You can find out more, including which types of statues, monuments and similar structures are eligible for a grant, on the Memorial Grants Scheme website. Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme The Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme makes grants towards the VAT incurred in making repairs and carrying out alterations to listed buildings mainly used for public worship. The scheme has an annual budget of £42m, and presently receives around 4000 claims each year. Read about the scheme and how to make a claim on the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme website.
