Description
1) Objective
Founded in 2005, the mission of the Petzl Foundation is to support or initiate projects which serve the public interest. These projects shall seek a harmonious balance between human activities in the mountains and the vertical world relative to their impact on our natural, cultural and economic environments. Its three main areas of work are: (1) accident prevention and risk management training; (2) preservation of the environment; and (3) scientific research.
The Petzl Foundation supports projects developed by non-profit organizations which: (1) take place in mountains or in any other vertical environment; (2) are related to outdoor leisure activities such as climbing and mountaineering; and (3) are related to the professional work-at-height sector such as tree care, technical rescue and difficult access. The Foundation supports non-profit organisations through financial and equipment grants, as well as consultation and training.
2) Eligibility
The Petzl Foundation supports non-profit organizations through financial and equipment grants, as well as consultation and training.
3) Location
While most funding is allocated to projects in France, grants are provided for initiatives across the globe. In the past, project grants were provided for projects in Algeria, Madagascar, Cameroon, Argentina, Mauritius, Mozambique, Indonesia, Nepal, and Vietnam, among others.
4) Budget
They have an annual funding value of around €350,000 and fund approximately 40 to 50 projects per year. Average grants sizes differ, depending on the nature of the project (around half of the grants are below €5,000).
5) Application
Interested organisations whose project fits with the Foundation’s thematic areas of work and eligibility criteria are requested to complete the online application form and send it via email to Foundation staff. Applications in paper are not accepted. After an initial review, a project shortlist is drawn up and presented to the Foundation Board, who make final funding decisions. The Board meets on a monthly basis. In addition to funding, the Foundation can also provide technical assistance throughout the project.
