π§ How to Approach (Important Insight)
Just calling is not enoughβyouβll get better results if you:
- Prepare a 1-page concept note (heritage property + funding need)
- Mention CSR angle / tourism / cultural value
- Highlight if itβs linked to a royal family or legacy property (this increases funding chances significantly)
β¨ Pro Tip (For You Specifically)
Given your work with royal families & heritage branding, your strongest funding routes are:
Private heritage consultants (like Savani)
INTACH + ICOMOS (credibility + grants)
CSR funds (corporates via heritage tourism angle)
