2008 Grants Program

The 2008 Voiceless Grants Program is now closed.

If you submitted an Expression of Interest, you will be notified in July as to whether your application has made it to the final round.

All details about the 2008 grant recipients – including the recipient of the landmark $25,000 ‘Against Factory Farming’ grant – will be made available on this website in December.

As in past years, the Sherman family is joined by a number of supporters and sponsors who are contributing to the 2008 Grants Program.

Bio-Distributors is sponsoring a $15,000 grant towards a project addressing the suffering of factory farmed animals.

Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics is sponsoring a $5,000 grant for a project addressing animal testing by the cosmetics industry.

Voiceless is also delighted to announce that, due to its great success last year, a special People’s Choice! grant will again be awarded this year. Voting will open to the public in October.
