In 2018 The Chip Hooper Foundation supported the American Alpine Club’s Live Your Dream Grant. The American Alpine Club awards the Live Your Dream Grant to an individual each year to help them progress in their climbing abilities. “The Live Your Dream grant is designed to help every-day adventurers take their abilities to the next level. It is about personal progression. It is about supporting each other; getting out there to push our individual limits; taking our skills to the next proving grounds, wherever that may be. The purpose of this grant is to support and promote unforgettable experiences for climbers—to dream big, to grow, and to inspire others. The Live Your Dream grant is for individuals of all ages, all experience levels, and all climbing disciplines—from bouldering to big walls, alpinism to ski mountaineering, peak bagging to bolt clipping and everything in between” (https://americanalpineclub.org/live-your-dream-grant).
