The Palmerston Forts Society (PFS) promotes public understanding of Palmerston Forts and other Victorian fortifications. To support this aim, PFS offers grants of up to £1,000 for projects that preserve, improve or record Victorian forts for public benefit.
Grants are open to societies and organisations that support Victorian forts. Although rules and conditions apply, PFS may consider strong projects that do not fully meet them or that require slightly more than the usual funding limit; please contact us to discuss your proposal. Research-focused projects are covered by a separate scheme for PFS members.
Applications will be assessed on their merits, and grants will be awarded on a one-off basis at the discretion of PFS. A sub-committee will assess each project and submit its recommendations to the PFS committee for approval.
