GCI Creative Grants Program

The Global Climbing Initiative is accepting applications for its Creative Grants Program to support climbing communities worldwide in sharing their perspectives and experiences through innovative projects in the arts.

.

Through these grants, GCI empowers climbing leaders to shape creative projects that amplify diverse perspectives in the global climbing community. From creative works that encourage appreciation of the climbing environment, to those that highlight social change in the climbing community, to those that share the story of climbing’s expansion in local areas, they welcome proposals for creative works across topics and disciplines, as well as proposals to increase access to education for creative skills such as photography and videography among members of your local climbing community.

.

Funding Information
  • Requests of or under $1,000 USD.
Eligible Projects
  • They are looking to fund direct impact projects that seek to highlight the voices and visions of local, underrepresented climbing communities. Project examples include:
    • Short films
    • Climbing photography 
    • Literary projects 
    • Creative clinics, such as climbing photography clinics 
    • Festivals centered on climbing and storytelling/creative expression
Eligibility:
  • Proposals must be related to climbing (outdoor or indoor), led by a climbing organization outside of the continental United States (or representing an Indigenous community within the United States), and submitted by a member of the local climbing community.
  • Please note that they will not award grants to the same organization in the same category in back-to-back cycles (e.g. Spring 2025 and then Fall 2025). If applying in a different category, or applying in non-back to back cycles, the application will be evaluated equally against others regardless of past award status.
