Shackleton Foundation Leadership Award Application Form

Leadership Award Application Form
The Shackleton Foundation supports individuals rather than projects. We seek to identify Leaders who have a challenging idea (we call it their ‘Antarctic’) about which they are passionate, and believe they can make a difference, to disadvantaged and socially marginalised young people in the UK. With that in mind we want to get a feel for you as a person; as a Leader; and to understand what your ’Antarctic’ is, why it’s important to you, and why you need our financial support.

Please do not complete this form until you have read the Foundation’s grant-making guidelines.

You may start filling in the form, save it and resume later. To do this, scroll to the end, and press 'SAVE'.

An asterix (*) denotes a compulsory field.
