Deadline: Throughout the year
Do you love taking risks in life? Are you daring enough to explore the world of your own? Grab the opportunity here! The Timmisssartok Foundation is currently accepting applications from individuals around the world and assist them with their adventurous projects that will take place in a foreign country. Investing in the people with the big dreams, the foundation supports people who are not afraid to take a risk and who realize that if you stay away from risk in your life, you are staying away from precisely those areas where the greatest achievements are possible. The Foundation will partially support projects that involve “travel with a purpose” in which a particular passion is to be explored.
Small Grants will be provided to the chosen applicants.
