About this program

The Kensington Conservation Grant, a $1,000,000 initiative by The Explorers Club, supported by Jeff Willner and Kensington, funds global conservation projects with a focus on Asia and Latin America, emphasizing fieldwork, storytelling, and cultural and environmental impact. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, with a strong commitment to exploration and conservation, and are encouraged from diverse backgrounds, including graduate students, early-career scientists, and independent explorers. Projects should prioritize significant impact, responsible tourism, and sustainability, requiring a detailed proposal, video statement, CVs, and letters of recommendation by the November 15th deadline. Awards of up to $10,000 are granted annually.
