The Allegr Foundation promotes community participation in healthy activities toimprove mental and physical wellbeing. We believe that exceptional personal challenges can inspire communities and raise vital funds.
If you’re planning an ultra-endurance event or ambitious fundraising challenge, we may be able to help with the costs that make it possible – things like travel, entry fees, specialist kit, and crew support.
This page summarises how our fundraising support works. A full policy document is available on request.
No funds are released until the £6,000 threshold has been received in our bank account. After that, eligible costs are reimbursed against receipts as your fundraising grows.
What we’ll help with
Wecover reasonable, evidenced direct costs that are essential to your challenge:
• Economy travel to and from the event (for you and essential crew)
• Event entry fees and insurance
• Specialist medical checks and safety-critical training (e.g. altitude acclimatisation)
• Support and safety equipment (purchase or rental)
• Direct crew costs where crew are a mandatory event requirement
What we don’t cover
• Family travel or non-essential companions
• General or unrelated training
• Day-to-day living costs
• Luxury upgrades to travel or accommodation
• Entertainment
Every expense must pass a simple test: is it directly related to the event, necessary, and proportionate?
1.You apply. Tell us about your challenge, your fundraising plan, and your expected costs. The Board assesses every application against our eligibility criteria.
2.We agree terms. If approved, we’ll draw up a simple agreement covering the fundraising target, cost budget, and mutual commitments.
3.You fundraise. You run your campaign. We’ll support you with admin and reporting.
4.Costs are reimbursed. Once your fundraising crosses the £6,000 threshold, we begin reimbursing eligible costs against receipts – up to the 33% ratio and £12,000 cap.
5.We report together. After the event, we jointly produce a financial and impact report covering funds raised, costs incurred, and the story of what you achieved.
• A genuine, ambitious challenge with strong fundraising potential
• Alignment with our mission of community, wellbeing, andshared activity
• Relevant experience and a realistic plan to completethe event
• A credible fundraising plan showing you can reach the £6,000 threshold
• Willingness to act as an ambassador for The Allegr Foundation and take part in publicity
We publish the fundraising ratio achieved and net funds generated from every campaign. Donors can request full financial and impact details at any time. Alltrustee involvement in events is declared and managed under our conflicts ofinterest policy.
We want every pound raised to go as far as possible. Supporting challenge costs is an investment in unlocking funds that wouldn’t exist otherwise – and we’re committed to demonstrating that value openly.
