We want to help fund the training course or missing bit of gear you need to realise your goal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The expedition should involve both personal development and development for the club.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Expeditions that venture into \u201cwilderness areas\u201d or less frequently visited parts of the world are especially encouraged, as are expeditions\/trips that display imagination and a thirst for exploration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do not be put off if you are not an expert mountaineer. All sorts of expeditions will be considered, e.g. long distance kayaking, first ascents, and exploratory canyons\/caves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Funding available: up to $500 for each team member<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Inclusive cool shit - Group Trips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- To encourage more experienced club members to lead big trips for less experienced club members, funding is available to subsidise travel expenses of trip leaders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Trip leaders will plan the trip and open it up to all club members.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Funding available: up to $500 for each trip leader<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Application process<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe encourage you to apply! If you are unsure if your trip idea would be a good fit for the Beanie Grant you should talk to an exec member to discuss your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be two rounds of Beanie grant applications per year. Each round applications will go through the following process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Applicants submit a short abstract of their planned trip here<\/a> (who, what, where and when, in less than 500 words).\n
\n- If the executive deems an application inappropriate it may not pass to the next step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Applicants will then pitch their idea at a club event so that present members can vote anonymously for their favourite trip.\n
\n- The vote is a non-binding plebiscite, and applicants are not allowed to vote.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The executive will decide the winner(s) taking into account the application criteria.\n
\n- If their decision is vastly different to the outcome of the voting they must explain why.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Applicants will then submit a more detailed trip plan, covering risks, logistics etc. see the form below.\n
\n- The executive may give feedback and request changes to this plan based on the application criteria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- When the executive is satisfied with the plan they will award you the Beanie Grant!\n
\n- Get outside and do the thing!! Remember to take a Beanie!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
