Kensington Conservation Grant

Kensington Conservation Grant

In 2024, we established the Kensington Conservation Grant in partnership with The Explorers Club, which will award funds to explorers on the frontlines of exploration and conservation.

This $1,000,000 initiative will put more people in the field addressing the world’s biggest issues and deepen our understanding of the natural world.

  • The grant is open to researchers and explorers who are conducting fieldwork primarily in Asia and Latin America.

  • Particular interest is given to projects led by explorers from equity-deserving groups, with a focus on responsible or sustainable tourism, and which have significant potential for impact.

One Journey. Double the Impact

With Kensington Cares, one plus one really is greater than two. We donate 1% of all trip sales to support meaningful change through our trusted global partners. Our clients have the option of matching this promise with their own 1% donation, multiplying the positive impact of their journey. Help us make an impact on people’s lives and communities, and the world we all share.
