Keen launches outdoor grants programme

07/11/2013
Outdoor footwear brand Keen is launching a new programme of grants to support projects that “fuel people’s passion for protecting the environment and promote responsible outdoor participation”.

Brand “fans” and retailers are being asked to nominate organisations in their communities who are working hard to help local people enjoy the outdoors. It has set up a dedicated website, www.keeneffect.com, for applications, with December 6 as the deadline.

It will choose 25 winning applications and distribute a combined total of $100,000 in grants in the early part of 2014.
