The Explorers Club, headquartered in New York City, is a renowned global organization dedicated to supporting scientific expeditions and exploration across all disciplines. Established over a century ago, it has brought together adventurers, researchers, and explorers from around the world, encouraging knowledge sharing and fellowship. With chapters spanning numerous countries, the club provides resources, networking opportunities, and recognition to individuals and teams engaged in groundbreaking research and fieldwork. The organization’s mission is to promote exploration while ensuring responsible scientific inquiry and environmental stewardship. Over the years, its members have contributed to major discoveries in marine science, geology, space exploration, and wildlife conservation. Through funding programs, lectures, and collaborations, The Explorers Club continues to inspire exploration efforts that push the boundaries of human knowledge and benefit society.

The Stephenson Exploration Advancement Grant, supported by the Philip Stephenson Foundation, is a dedicated funding opportunity for marine exploration and conservation projects. The grant aims to support initiatives that enhance ocean health, promote biodiversity, and protect marine ecosystems while improving human livelihoods. The funding encourages projects that combine scientific research with community engagement and sustainable practices. Priority is given to field research and exploratory missions that generate new insights into marine ecosystems, contribute to ocean conservation, and mitigate environmental threats. By offering financial assistance to innovative projects, the grant enables researchers, conservationists, and explorers to conduct in-depth studies, collaborate with local communities, and develop solutions that address pressing environmental challenges. Projects focusing on marine life monitoring, pollution control, habitat restoration, and ecosystem resilience are particularly encouraged. The Stephenson Exploration Advancement Grant not only provides funding but also strengthens global networks of marine scientists and conservation advocates. Successful applicants become part of a broader community of explorers committed to advancing scientific knowledge and protecting marine resources for future generations.
