Grants of up to £500 for Outdoor Activity Projects
Grants of up to £500 are available for individuals, community groups, schools, and other not-for-profit organisations to encourage people across the UK to get involved with outdoor activities and experiences.
The funding is provided by the Alpkit Foundation, which aims to break down barriers to outdoor participation by supporting:
- diversity and inclusion projects that engage individual and groups from a diverse range of backgrounds
- environmental projects that seek to support, conserve, or generate understanding of our environment and wild places
- health projects enabling people to gain physical and mental wellbeing from the Great Outdoors
- education projects such as First Aid, D of E, Forest Schools and Mountain Leader
- participation projects that get more people experiencing the Great Outdoors
There is particular interest in projects that:
- encourage responsible outdoor activity
- have long lasting benefits
- introduce new people to get outdoors
- demonstrate value for mone
The grants aim to provide some level of support rather than fully funding projects.
Applications can be submitted at any time and are reviewed every two months. There is no limit to how many times an applicant may apply, but applications should be submitted at least three months before the project start date.
