Description
1) Objective
The Culture & Animals Foundation (CAF) provides annual grants to scholars and artists using their intellect, creativity, and compassion to build a deeper understanding of human–animal relationships and a greater respect for animal rights. CAF funds academic and artistic projects that raise public awareness about animal rights. On average, CAF awards fewer than 20 grants annually. Grants are awarded in three categories:
- Research (scholarly projects about animal advocacy and its cultural roots and impact);
- Creativity (original work by artists and thinkers that expresses positive concern for animals);
- and Performance (public performances and exhibitions to raise awareness of animal advocacy).
AF does not fund “hands-on” projects, including animal rescue, public protest or trap-neuter-release programs. CAF also does not support species conservation projects, unless they include a commitment to animal rights and fit into one of our three categories of creativity, performance, or research. CAF does not fund projects that consist entirely of attending or speaking at a conference or conferences. It does not fund book production (CAF does support research and writing). CAF does not fund indirect costs: no portion of a CAF grant may be used for “administrative costs,” “overhead,” or any other form of indirect cost.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are individuals.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide. CAF accepts grant applications from any country.
4) Budget
Individual grants normally are awarded in amounts ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. In some rare cases, CAF may elect to award partial funding to a grant applicant, which would cover a portion of the requested amount. CAF encourages applicants to apply for funding from other organizations, both before and after applying for a CAF grant, if the project scope and budget require.
5) Application
CAF has an annual grant cycle. CAF accepts proposals from January 1 to January 31 of each year. Selected grantees will be notified by early April. All applications must be submitted online.
