Since inception, the Foundation primarily supports regional projects which focus on maritime archaeology or underwater cultural heritage undertaken in the countries where Honor Frost worked. Broadly, this is the eastern Mediterranean, specifically Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria and also Egypt including the Red Sea. The Foundation is keen to support projects which will foster strong collaborations with regional partners, particularly those with local training opportunities. Our full aims and objectives are available here.
The Foundation also offers broader support for activities in this field, including education, training and workshops, conferences with a regional involvement, conservation work, museum exhibitions and public engagement.
We have recently introduced an expression of interest form for grants over £10,000. If accepted for development, potential grantees would be expected to work with HFF staff to develop the projects to reflect the aims of both parties.
