The Shackleton Foundation disburses its funds by way of Shackleton Foundation Leadership Awards (SFLAs).

You should note that the Foundation grants financial awards to leaders, not to charities, although how an applicant is seeking to "make a difference" particularly to the benefit of the less advantaged, is likely to be via a charity. Applications should set out how the applicant matches the spirit of Shackleton. The Foundation DOES NOT ordinarily support expeditions, although exceptional cases may be considered.

The application should set out what the leader's vision is, and how the fulfilment of that vision will benefit the less advantaged.
