It is essential that you read all the information provided here before applying for a grant. This is to enable you to understand the purpose of the Trust, and what you must do when applying for a grant. The application form is straight forward but you must provide as much detail as possible to enable the Grants Application Committee to understand your expedition purpose, planned activity and outcome. If required additional exercise instructions or an intended programme of events can be sent to the Ops Director, providing more detail of what may be a complex expedition. A good application with all the questions answered first time, with all the information requested below stands a good chance of being assessed quickly and positively. The online form has the facility to save partially completed forms, so applicants are advised to start completion as early as possible.
