Tips for Applicants

Focus on community-led initiatives with measurable outcomes in health, environment, or social welfare. Emphasise how the project aligns with sustainable tourism and local community empowerment. Applications should demonstrate direct benefit to the target community and potential for traveller involvement.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation supports community-driven projects that create meaningful, sustainable impact in destinations visited by Intrepid travellers. It values grassroots organisations, local partnerships, and initiatives that empower communities rather than creating dependency.
