Grant News

GiveStar has announced that the Adventure for Good Grant has reopened for applications.

The Adventure for Good Grant is a major funding initiative designed to support individuals undertaking ambitious charity challenges. The grant aims to remove practical and financial barriers for people planning extraordinary adventures that raise funds for charitable causes.

The grant is provided by GiveStar, a fundraising platform operated by TapTap Giving Ltd, which supports challenge-based fundraising for registered charities. Through this initiative, GiveStar is backing bold projects such as endurance expeditions, world-record attempts, long-distance treks and other high-impact adventures that inspire public engagement and charitable giving.

For the 2026 funding round, GiveStar has committed a total grant pot of £250,000, which will be distributed among successful applicants. Individual grant awards will vary depending on the scope, ambition and logistical requirements of each challenge. Funding can be used to offset essential costs, including travel, equipment, entry fees, permits, and visas, directly related to the fundraising activity.

Applications are open to individuals or small teams aged 18 or over who are raising funds for a UK- or US-registered charity. Successful applicants are expected to fundraise through the GiveStar platform and demonstrate a clear charitable purpose behind their challenge.

In addition to financial support, grant recipients will join GiveStar’s AllStars programme, gaining access to expert mentoring, campaign planning advice, public relations support and networking opportunities.

The closing date for applications is 20 February 2026.
