The MEF Application for Grant form has now been updated to Rev 04 dated Aug 08, which must be used for all new applications. (Submissions on old versions will not be accepted.) It is available to download by selecting ‘Support for Expeditions’ (from the MEF Homepage or clicking here), as are the ‘Guidelines’ (also Rev 04 dated Aug 08), the Referee’s form (Rev 03A) and the Information Sheet (dated Aug 08). However many times applicants have received MEF support in the past, they are requested to read these carefully before submitting a new application. Thank you

About The Mount Everest Foundation

Sir Edmund Hillary on his return from the summit.

It was following the triumphant expedition that the Mount Everest Foundation (MEF) a charity formed by the Alpine Club and the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) was established. The MEF now relies on donations to continue its support of the exploration and understanding of the world's mountain regions
