As part of this the evaluation should: - Capture how Heritage Endowments funding has being used - Explore if Heritage Endowments funding was used as it was initially intended? Were there any changes and if so what can we learn from this? In particular, what external factors changed for grantees during the lifetime of the grant? - Demonstrate the extent to which the outcomes of the programme have been achieved. - Explore the extent to which the Heritage Endowments programme has supported organisations to reach their ambition of growing or setting up an endowment in terms of the length of the match funding campaign and size of the grant awarded. 2.5 Specifically we would like you to address the following questions: a). what has been the impact of Heritage Endowments on an organisation's ability to manage their heritage in the longer term? b). to what extent has introducing the lower grant banding of £250,000 through Heritage Endowments supported smaller organisations? c). how can heritage organisations effectively engage with different types of donors in order to build an endowment fund (including effective/successful fundraising methods)? d). what factors contribute to successful endowment fundraising? e). how has the money awarded to resource campaigns been spent and to what extent has this been beneficial to grantees in supporting them to deliver their fundraising campaign? 2.6 We would like the contractor to organise and facilitate two opportunities for grantees to come together, network and build relationships, with the aim of sharing learning, insights and best practice to inform project delivery. . The emphasis will be on enabling, building capability and creating the right conditions for grantees to use and take up the learning. There should be a focus on sustainability so the networks and relationships can continue post Heritage Endowments funding. HLF will fund travel expenses for grantees but we expect the contractor to budget for venue hire, refreshments and facilitation. Value for money when choosing venues should be a consideration.
