The RDC foundation is a charitable foundation providing grants to get young people from the UK into the Great Outdoors. We support both young people directly and also charities working to get young people into the outdoors. Here are a few key numbers based on grants given since inception in 2019:
1950 young people accommodated in tents we purchased
930 young people learning camp crafts using equipment we purchased
330 young people accommodated in mess tents/event shelters we purchased
120 young people trying climbing/caving/mountaineering using equipment we purchased
130 young people who trying water activities using equipment we purchased
98 young people undertaking life-changing self-organised expeditions we funded
The RDC Foundation will consider applications from a registered charity* for up to £1000 toward equipment to support adventurous outdoor activities for young people under the age of 21. These activities need to develop their mental, physical and moral capabilities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.
*Please note that a registered Scout or GirlGuiding group is also acceptable. Any group applying must not generate an annual income >£100K p.a. and there can be no employee of the charity earning more than £60K p.a.
The RDC Foundation will consider applications from an individual, under the age of 21, for up to £1000 toward a self-led* expedition, travels or adventurous activity to develop their mental, physical and moral capabilities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.
*Please note a significant role in the organisation of the trip is a key part of the learning experience. Therefore, we do not award grants for organised trips. (e.g. Scout Jamboree, Project Trust, Operation Raleigh, Organised Volunteering).
Applications are reviewed quarterly at Trustee meetings in January, April, July & October
