In 2006, 9,7 million kroner was allocated to the programme. For 2007, nine million kroner was allocated from the Directorate for Cultural Heritage’s budget and nine million from the Norwegian Cultural Heritage Fund (Norsk kulturminnefond). In 2008, the corresponding amounts are 13,4 million kroner and 10 million kroner. These fundings are used, together with resources from private owners and different sectors, to restore cultural monuments and prepare new cultural assets.

Networks and meeting-places
Networks are established for the actors in the projects and meeting-places set up where those taking part can meet others who are also interested in cultural heritage and creating new assets.

These networks lay the ground for:
– learning and imparting knowledge
– exchanging experiences between the pilot projects and other, similar projects
– co-ordinating resource components and the use of effects
– feedback from the follow-up research
