Website:     www.explorefund.org                  

Maximum Grant:  $2,500          Deadline:  April 6, 2012              
 
The North Face Explore Fund supports organizations that encourage youth outdoor participation, focusing primarily on creating more connections of children to nature, increasing access to both front & backcountry recreation, as well as providing education for both personal & environmental health.

Applications must follow guidelines that include: 

* Projects that include community demographics, estimated number of participants, and anticipated outcomes. 

* Proposals that encourage community involvement. 

* Programs that focus on breaking down barriers to getting youth outdoors. 

* The project or program should seek a specific audience and reach out to a specific community or place of interest. 

* All funding requests should be quantifiable with specific goals, objectives, and action plans, with a clear measure for evaluating success. 

* Your program should have a good chance of significant measurable results & momentum over a fairly short term (one to three years). 

* Potential grantees should include a specific communications plan in the application that demonstrates how you plan to disseminate information about your program. 

* Applications that come with matching dollars will be viewed favorably & this will be taken into consideration during the granting process. 

* Organizations are allowed to apply for more than one grant as long as the funds would be used for unique programs.
