SPONSORS
Homeward Bound is largely self-funded, with each participant contributing towards the cost of travel and accommodation on the boat – as well as their own time.
We are currently approaching a range of other funding sources to offset the US$33,000 per person cost of the program. The primary cost, in excess of the normal cost of a trip to Antarctica, is for the four program streams that will be delivered on-board, the on-board faculty, materials and project management.
If your organisation would like to support this groundbreaking global initiative, please email us to discuss.
We are incredibly grateful to the following corporate sponsors of Homeward Bound!
