The Grosvenor Council is an international group of individuals who demonstrate their commitment to the Society by donating $1,000 or more annually. Council members' gifts support expeditions and scientific fieldwork, promote conservation, encourage geographic "fluency" among youth, and engage the public through exhibits, live events, film, and new media.

Grosvenor Council members receive exclusive travel opportunities with National Geographic's experts to exciting destinations all over the world. In the coming year, Council members will have the chance to visit San Cristóbal with travel writer and photographer Christopher Baker in Cuba, join conservation biologist Stuart Pimm in the Galápagos to snorkel among the islands' wildlife, and hike Yosemite National Park with experts, including National Geographic grantee and climber Jimmy Chin.
