Alpkit Foundation

The Alpkit Foundation are funding projects encouraging outdoor activity with long-lasting benefits, especially for those new to being outdoors.

Awards range from £50 to £500 to encourage people to get outdoors and have great experiences that otherwise couldn’t happen; e.g. giving a cash grant to a school to fund transport costs

We make small awards to people, groups and schools that work to remove the barriers in getting outdoors and experience wild places.

Yes, we love to support

• 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

No, we will not support

• Holidays
• Charity challenges
• Commercially led travel Expeditions that are not focused the Great Outdoors (e.g. rebuilding schools, overseas medicine)
• Scout Jamborees – due to the large number of participants involved in Scout Jamborees, this is not something we are able to support. We do support the Scout Association through our Youth in Adventure Fund
