This is your launchpad. Whether you’re applying for a research grant, pitching a public engagement project, or building a case for digital transformation—this Bid Kit is here to help.
Many of the projects on Humap were funded through grants, and we’ve used our insights from successful applications to build this kit.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need to make the case for interactive mapping: clear benefits, real impact, and examples of how others have done it before you.
Projects like:
- Layers of London received £1.3M from the Heritage Fund, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, and the Anita McConnel legacy via the IHR Trust
- Coventry Atlas was developed as part of the Coventry Great Place Scheme funded by Heritage Fund, Arts Council England and Historic England with partner funding from Coventry City Council, University of Warwick, Coventry University, Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership and Coventry’s Business Improvement District
- The Refugee Map (from the Wiener Holocaust Library) received funding from Arts Council England
- Islington’s Pride was supported by the Heritage Fund and Islington Council
- Facing the Past is supported by the Heritage Fund

These maps didn’t just win grants—they built communities, reached new audiences, and left a lasting digital legacy. Yours can too.
