About this opportunity

The Alpkit Foundation is a grant fund set up to help people and communities get outside, experience nature, and build outdoor skills, especially where financial barriers might prevent them from doing so. The funding comes from Alpkit (an outdoor gear brand), which donates part of its profits to the Foundation.

The Foundation supports small-scale projects that:

Encourage responsible outdoor activity
Introduce new people to outdoor experiences
Have long-lasting benefits
Offer good value for money
Support inclusion, conservation, education, health & well-being through outdoor engagement

Focus areas include:

Diversity & Inclusion projects engaging underrepresented groups
Environmental projects conserving wild places
Health projects promoting physical and mental wellbeing outdoors
Education projects (Forest Schools, Duke of Edinburgh, outdoor training)
Participation projects expanding access to outdoor activities

Who can apply

Project must meet Alpkit’s funding criteria (outdoors, conservation, inclusion, education, health)
Applicant must be an individual, school, or community group based in the UK
Applications must be submitted at least 3 months before project start date
Trustees review applications every 2 months

Good to know

+Genuinely open to individuals, not just registered organisations, which makes it one of the rarer grants a single young person can actually win
+Unusually honest and specific about what it will and will not fund, with four named themes and an explicit refusal list
+Low friction for a small ask: support in the region of 50 to 500 pounds, financial or equipment, with a rolling review every couple of months
+Repeat applications are welcomed and each award is assessed on its own merit
+Established track record: over 3,000 projects assisted with more than 1 million pounds in small grants

Worth checking yourself

!Small money. 50 to 500 pounds, and the award may arrive as equipment rather than cash
!UK only. This is invisible to most of LOT's international audience
!Apply well ahead. Trustees meet only every couple of months and the guidance asks for at least 3 months before the project starts. Retrospective applications are explicitly refused
!Funding is capped per review period, so a strong application can still lose to timing
!No age criteria are published at all, so a reader has to judge fit from the themes alone
