Four types of funding are available under the George Town Grants Programme:

• Project & Booster Grants are one-off grants and must have very specific targets and objectives
• Repayable Grants are aimed at private property owners as an incentive for owners to apply best practices in heritage conservation. Proposals that include buildings of special historic significance and that will have a major public outcome will be given priority.
• Matching Grants usually involve projects with multiple stakeholders and that has multiple funding agencies.
• Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Grants: special grants allocated for technical expertise (for conservation) and capacity building (for public programmes) to fulfill George Town Grants Programme objectives.

What we do not fund:

The type of work we do not fund within the scheme are:

• Routine maintenance and minor repairs of private property
• Alterations and private interior work
• Construction work already underway
• Any kind of work that detracts from George Town’s Outstanding Universal Values

Think City reserves the right to refuse applications, when it considers the need for assistance from public funds has not been properly demonstrated. It also holds the owners of buildings within the World Heritage Site responsible for the repair and maintenance of the fabric of their buildings.
