Funding Opportunities
Alpkit Foundation Grant
The Alpkit Foundation provides small awards typically ranging from £50 to £500 to individuals, community groups, schools, and organisations to encourage people to get outdoors and have great experiences that otherwise couldn't happen. The Foundation remains focused on direct impact awards that support outdoor activities, environmental conservation, health and wellbeing, education, and participation projects. Applications are reviewed every 2 months by trustees, and there is no limit to the number of times you can apply. The Foundation particularly supports projects that encourage responsible outdoor activity, have long-lasting benefits, introduce new people to the outdoors, and demonstrate value for money. Supported projects include providing discounted equipment for outdoor adventures and trips, supporting outdoor educational programs like First Aid or Mountain Leader Training, supporting proactive conservation and environmental projects, and developing facilities for outdoor skills and activities for wider groups who may otherwise miss out.
Alpkit Foundation Small Grants
The Alpkit Foundation provides small grants to support grassroots, direct action projects and passionate game changers working to remove barriers to getting outdoors. The foundation puts 1% of Alpkit's sales into funding projects that help individuals and communities overcome obstacles to experiencing the benefits of outdoor activities. These awards are designed to make a positive difference where small steps can have significant impact. The foundation has assisted over 3,000 projects with more than £1,000,000 in small grants, supporting work that promotes physical and mental health through outdoor engagement, helps young people gain hands-on experiences with nature, and creates accessible outdoor opportunities for people from all backgrounds.
