The Voiceless Grants Program offers financial support to non-profit organisations, councils and universities for the design and implementation of projects which improve the lives of animals in Australia.

Over the past five years, Voiceless has awarded close to $1 million to an amazing array of projects spanning the country for a variety of high priority animal protection issues including:

The 2009 Grants Program will run from 1st - 31st July during which time an online application form will be available for submission. This year, grants will be awarded in varying amounts of up to $15,000 per project.

As in past years, Voiceless is joined by a number of supporters and sponsors who will be contributing to the 2009 Grants Program. In particular, Bio-Distributors will be sponsoring a $15,000 grant towards a project addressing the suffering of factory farmed animals.
