Grants of between £100 and £500 are available for individuals aged 18-24 or teams of up to 4 participants aged 18-24 in the UK who wish to undertake an adventurous expedition.
Grants awards will generally be between £100-£500, depending on the expedition, although potentially more in a minority of cases. Expeditions can take place in the UK or overseas. Please note that applications for an adventure with purpose (environmental, social etc) are likely to be prioritised.
Applications should meet the following criteria:
• Be for young adults based in the UK, aged 18-24.
• Expeditions must be ‘human-powered’, involve physical exertion, have a clearly defined goal, be as original as possible and span a minimum of 3 days.
• Individuals or teams of up to 4 persons (who must also meet criteria) may apply. The application should be made by a nominated lead individual, who will receive the grant funds.
• The expedition must be recorded afterwards in a blog post with photographs, or in film format, for us to share on the website, with sponsors and on social media to help promote the grant, and
• The expedition must take place within 12 months of the grant being awarded.
A number of stories and films of previously supported projects can be found on the Now On Earth website (scroll down the page).
Further information, guidance and an online application form is available on the Now On Earth website.
Applications may be made at any time and are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
