Community Kickstart Projects

Our Community Kickstart grants enable our leaders and operators to apply for funding to kickstart grassroots initiatives that directly support nature and local communities to thrive.  These grants could be for small projects that uplift women, encourage entrepreneurship, engage young people in conservation or regeneration of our natural world or provide help in times of need. 

Read on for more details on how we’re working with our local partners to support projects across the world with our Community Kickstart grants.

Africa

In Africa, we have been able to fund essential maintenance to keep wildlife enclosures working and effective, as well as putting a large emphasis on the support of local communities empowering women and children to thrive in their education and careers.

Asia

In Asia, we have been able to support local people and communities to thrive by empowering locals to build required infrastructure, support youth and adult education and provide necessary supplies for members of the community.

The Americas

In The Americas, we have been able to support on projects that train local experts within communities to continue within the tourism industry, providing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, improving education and knowledge, and providing necessary supplies.

Europe

In Europe, we have been able to work with local partners to educate communities on regeneration and reforestation, continuing to prioritise the empowerment of local communities to helping nature to thrive in tourism destinations.
