The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) was set-up under the National Heritage Act 1980 as a successor to the National Land Fund, to save the most outstanding parts of the United Kingdom's national heritage at risk of loss. It was designed to serve as a memorial to those who have given their lives for the UK.

In 1994, the NHMF and its Trustees were also given the major task of distributing the heritage share of Lottery money for good causes, which it now operates through the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).

The NHMF continues to act as the fund of last resort, being able to act very quickly in emergencies. In contrast, HLF is funded by lottery money and offers opportunities for conserving our heritage with an even greater emphasis on improved access, learning and engagement.
