Since 2009 we have been working with inspiring applicants of The North Face Adventure Grant to help turn their expedition dreams into a reality. From home-grown adventures in Australia and New Zealand, to far-flung corners of the world, we’ve aided the likes of climbers, runners, and skiers in reaching their goals. Grant recipients receive an $8000 cash grant, and $2000 worth of the world’s most technically innovative apparel and equipment.
