Recipients of grants must undertake:

You must refund any money which has not been spent as detailed in the budget outlined in the project application.  Grantees will be required to keep all receipts on file for a two year period from the date of submission of the Final Report and Financial Summary.  During these two years individuals will be randomly selected to submit hard copies to the HFF office for inspection.  Grantees may request permission to utilise unspent funds for other direct costs for the project and the Foundation will consider the request on a case by case basis;

  • to complete the Final Report Form on the outcomes of the project as soon as possible after the funded project. The deadline for submitting the Final Report along with a link to the form will be sent to your with your approval letter. For ongoing projects of more than one year an interim report will also be required using the same form. You must advise the Foundation if the report is to be delayed for any reason;

  • to ensure both the Final Report and Financial Report forms for the awarded project are submitted prior to any second grant being considered for award, or for ongoing projects to complete interim reports before the next instalment can be paid.

Where electronic resources are created by a project supported by HFF, community-agreed standards and best practice must be adopted with adequate provision for the long-term preservation and availability of the resources created. Guidance on suitable standards in the UK is available from the Archaeology Data Service (http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/) and, on completion of the project, electronic data should be offered for deposit with the Archaeology Data Service or a national similar body.

The Foundation accepts no responsibility, financial or otherwise, for expenditure (or liabilities arising out of such expenditure) or for liabilities arising out of the activities funded by the grant.
