<p>The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has awarded £270,000 to projects in Doncaster in
the last financial year (£0.88 per capita). Since the organisation’s inception, it
has awarded nearly £17m of grants to Doncaster, which amounts to £54.87 per capita.
The total grants awarded in England in the last financial year totalled £4.07 per
capita.</p><p> </p><p>HLF always looks to address issues around lower levels of funding,
and Doncaster has been a priority development area for HLF since 2003. Under this
approach, where HLF works closely with heritage and other organisations locally to
increase capacity and levels of applications, it has supported 104 projects since
2003 and 129 projects since 1994. It also played a key role in the successful joint
funding scheme in 2015 ‘Dosh for Donny’ alongside other National Lottery distributors,
which resulted in £372,000 being awarded to the area in that financial year and an
increase in small grant awards.</p>
