THE TRUSTEE FOR MICHAEL PARKER FOUNDATION
Board Interlocks (3 shared directors)
Giving Philosophy
The foundation operates as a memorial to Mick Parker, who was known for his generosity towards Himalayan communities during his mountaineering expeditions. Mick had begun formulating plans to help remote Himalayan communities, particularly schoolchildren who walk long distances to school facing dangers and lacking facilities. The foundation carries forward his commitment to making a tangible difference in these remote communities.
Tips for Applicants
This is a small family memorial foundation focused specifically on Himalayan communities, particularly school infrastructure and children. Direct contact via their website would be the best approach. Given the small scale (~$65,500/year), grants are likely modest and personal relationships may matter. The foundation appears to work with partners like World Expeditions for project delivery.
Notable Grants
- Toilet & Wash Facilities for Four Schools
- School Bags deliveries to Himalayan communities
