Intangible Cultural Heritage Funding Scheme 2025 opens for application
The funding scheme consists of the Community-driven Projects 2025 and the Partnership Projects 2025, and is inviting applications from local organisations and individuals with relevant experience. The objectives of the ICH Funding Scheme are to strengthen the safeguarding, research, education, promotion and transmission of local ICH items; to engage the participation of the community in safeguarding local ICH; and to enhance public awareness, understanding and respect with regard to local ICH.
The scope of support of the Community-driven Projects 2025 covers projects related to the items in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong and the Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory of Hong Kong. For the Partnership Projects 2025, applications are invited for three projects, namely ICH Event Calendar on Traditional Festivals and Rituals; ICH Creation; and Survey and Research for Enriching the Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory of Hong Kong.
The Guide to Application and application forms for the ICH Funding Scheme are available on the website of the ICH Office (www.icho.hk/en/web/icho/ich_funding_scheme_application.html
