The North Face EXPLORE FUND provides grants to U.S. based nonprofit organizations that connect people to the outdoors and support outdoor exploration. To be considered for an Explore Fund grant, applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or in a formal relationship with a qualified fiscal sponsor.

Explore Fund grants support nonprofit organizations working in partnership with The North Face; groups that are nominated by The North Face vendor partners and select internal business units; and through an annual open grant application cycle.
