Donate to the Inspiring Explorers™ Fund

By making a gift to the Inspiring Explorers™ Fund, you will create opportunities for young people to connect with and be inspired by the qualities of heroic Antarctic leaders that you admire.
From the classroom to polar-inspired expeditions, you could give them the chance to grow an explorer mindset and dream of a different future. With your support, they will be better equipped to embrace the unknown, face uncertainty and make a positive contribution to our changing world.

Your gift will support our Inspiring Explorers™ Education, Young Inspiring Explorers™, and Inspiring Explorers Expeditions™ programmes. These programmes provide opportunities for young people to challenge themselves physically and mentally.

With the Trust’s administration costs funded by the New Zealand Government, 100 cents in every dollar gifted will go directly to programme costs. No administrative costs!

Donations of NZD$5 or more are eligible for a donation tax credit from New Zealand Inland Revenue (New Zealand individual tax payers only, please contact us for international giving options).

As a donor, you’ll receive stories of impact about programme participants. You’ll also be invited to special events, giving you the opportunity to hear stories from explorers of yesterday and today.
