The Culture & Animals Foundation (CAF) is seeking applications for its Grant Program.
Donor Name: Culture & Animals Foundation (CAF)
Country: Global
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/31/2023
Details:
The Culture & Animals Foundation aims to advance animal advocacy through intellectual and artistic expression. CAF is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports artists and scholars.
Funding Information
- Individual grants normally are awarded in amounts ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
- On average, CAF awards fewer than 20 grants annually.
Eligible Projects
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).
What CAF does not fund?
- “hands-on” projects, including animal rescue, public protest or trap-neuter-release programs;
- species conservation projects, unless they include a commitment to animal rights and aspects of creativity, performance, or research;
- projects that consist entirely of attending or speaking at a conference or conferences;
- book production (CAF does support research and writing);
- indirect costs: no portion of a CAF grant may be used for “administrative costs,” “overhead,” or any other form of indirect cost.
Eligibility Criteria
- CAF accepts grant applications from any country.
- 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.
- CAF does not accept grant applications for multiple projects in the same funding cycle.
- Past recipients are welcome to apply again for funding of a new endeavor or continued development of a previously funded project. However, priority for funding will be given to new applicants.
- CAF only awards grants for projects. CAF does not provide ongoing budgetary support for organizations or individuals.
- CAF can provide support for salaries to complete applicant’s projects.
- CAF does provide grants for documentary films and videos, but given the costs associated with both, applicants should show they have raised most of the money in advance of applying to CAF.
