The Culture & Animals Foundation (CAF) provides annual grants to scholars and artists using their intellect and creativity to build a deeper understanding of human–animal relationships and a greater respect for animal rights.

Who can apply
Anyone who wants to raise public awareness about animal rights through academic and artistic projects.
What can be funded
Grants are awarded in three categories:
1. Research – Scholarly projects about animal advocacy and its cultural roots and impact;
2. Creativity – Original work by artists and thinkers that expresses positive concern for animals;
3. 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 the three categories of creativity, performance, or research.
