Alpkit Foundation

The funding is for grassroots direct action projects that tackle issues such as diversity and inclusion in the outdoors, participation, education, conservation and protection of the natural environment and health and well-being. Grants of between £50 and £500 are available.

Applications will be considered from community groups, schools and organisations based and working within the UK.

The funding is intended for:

• Diversity and inclusion projects that engage individuals 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 well-being 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 money.

How To Apply

Applications can be submitted at any time and will be considered every two months. It is recommended that groups apply at least three months before the start of their project so that the trustees have time to consider the application at their next meeting.
