About the Organization:

The Culture & Animals Foundation aims to advance animal advocacy through intellectual and artistic expression.  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 also hosts the Annual Tom Regan Memorial Lecture, sponsors the Tom Regan Visiting Research Fellowship at North Carolina State University, and has hosted a festival of arts and scholarship.

Culture & Animals Foundation’s Grant Program

The Culture & Animals Foundation (CAF) has launched Grant Program 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. 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).

CAF 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.
