Alpkit Foundation
Alpkit Foundation helps people Go Nice Places Do Good Things. Alpkit only exists because of our wild places and the people that make them. Alpkit Foundation is their payback, our social dividend to protect the places we love for everyone to enjoy.
They make small awards to people, groups and schools that work to remove the barriers in getting outdoors and experience wild places.
Type of support: £50-£500 cash; discounts on kit; support for training
There's no limit to the number of times you can apply for an award. Alpkit welcome multiple awards over time and each award is assessed on its own merit. The only criteria applied in making awards is that the project meets the funding criteria and the Alpkit Foundation has the enough money in the pot.
