Shipton/Tilman Grants
Eric Shipton and Bill Tilman are arguably the greatest adventurers of this past century. The annual Shipton/Tilman Grant was established as a tribute to the spirit of adventure embodied by the endeavors of these two men.
Here at Gore we follow a similar philosophy. Small teams of associates have the freedom to explore new technologies and to create innovative products.
The annual Shipton/Tilman Grant was established as a tribute to the spirit of adventure embodied by the endeavors of these two men. The Grant provides $30,000 each year to be divided among three to six expeditions that are most in harmony with Shipton and Tilman’s philosophies.
Applications are accepted from small, unencumbered teams of friends with daring and imaginative goals. The expedition team must plan to accomplish their feat in a self-propelled, environmentally sound and cost-effective way. Since both Eric Shipton and H. W. Tilman were prolific authors, we encourage all applicants to read their books to gain a better understanding of their philosophies.
