The Explorers Club Impact Grants support field expedition projects in disciplines such as biological sciences, archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, earth sciences, ecology, and astronomy. Grants fund adventurous projects that reveal new knowledge about the planet and its inhabitants, emphasizing conservation and scientific objectives rather than adrenaline sports. Applicants must be 21 or older and projects should include storytelling elements. Applications are reviewed biannually with a strong recommendation to apply six months ahead of expeditions.
Applicants must be age 21 or older and conduct fieldwork in specified scientific disciplines or exploratory projects with a focus on storytelling and conservation. Projects purely focused on physical feats or adrenaline sports are not eligible.
