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:
* 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.
