National Geographic Society Exploration Grants

We are working to increase global understanding of our planet and create a community of change by advancing key insights about the world and probing some of the most pressing scientific questions of our time.

The National Geographic Society currently offers three types of grant applications—Early Career, Exploration, and Requests for Proposals

All proposed projects should be bold, innovative, and potentially transformative and have a primary focus in conservation, education, research, storytelling, or technology. Projects should also align to one of our three focus areas.
