THE HX Foundation has awarded 118,000 (A$197,000) in grants to 13 global projects in 11 countries, across sectors including conservation, education, and sustainable development.
The grant allocation is the first round of support from the HX Foundation since its separation from the wider Hurtigruten Foundation earlier this year.
It marks the foundation’s continued dedication to creating lasting, meaningful change across the globe, with particular focus on communities and destinations where HX sails.
“We are delighted to support these incredible projects that not only champion environmental conservation but also foster community development, education, and responsible tourism,” said HX Foundation Managing Director Henrik Lund.
One of this year’s winners is Arbol co(n)razon – a fire brigade for wildlife conservation in Ecuador.
Also awarded was Audubon, which works to expand ecotourism as an economic driver in Alaska, with a focus on birding.
Audubon will use its grant to enhance ecotourism opportunities, creating local birding trails.
