The Animal Protectors Grant
Do you have a brilliant idea that will help animals here in Singapore?
Do you need the funding to get started?
The Singapore Animal Welfare Symposium 2008 saw the launch of the “Animal Protectors Grant”, an exciting new scheme by which groups, of all ages, can apply for a grant of up to S$1,500 to initiate their projects.
Nine grants were awarded in 2008, for a range of projects including producing educational children's books on animal protection, making a documentary on animal welfare, raising public awareness on the illegal wildlife trade and sterilising stray cats.
The Animal Protectors Grant.
Absolutely anyone can apply for the Animal Protectors Grant! Any group of at least three individuals, with an idea for a project that will have a positive impact on animal welfare here in Singapore, is welcome to apply.
We believe that animal welfare is not a matter of interest only for adults so kids, if you are involved in school projects that help this cause or would like to help animals in your own time, you can apply too!
The Animal Protectors Grant is sponsored by the Lee Foundation.
