What’s CAF Been Up to Lately? Past Conferences

The Culture and Animals foundation is a nonprofit, cultural organization committed to fostering the growth of intellectual and artistic endeavors united by a positive concern for animals.

Founded in 1985 by Nancy and Tom Regan, the Culture and Animals Foundation (CAF) exists to expand our understanding and appreciation of animals-improving the ways in which they are treated and their standing in human society.

Through cultural studies, history, and philosophy, we explore our relationship with animals.

Through arts and letters-poetry, dance, fiction, painting, theater, sculpture, music-we celebrate our unity.

In seeing and understanding kindred animals, we see and understand a part of ourselves.

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can

be judged by the way its animals are treated."

Research Program Performance Program

Too few people know how rich and deep are the cultural roots of enlightened concern for animals. To educate people about their roots is one of our goals.

This program funds scholarly research into the lives and works of creative individuals who have expressed a positive concern for animals. Ideas are like lights. They need to be where people go, if they are to have a major impact. The performance program makes possible the presentation and performance of intellectual and artistic work that will raise public awareness about concern for animals.

This program funds public performances and exhibitions, including the products of our own Research and Creativity Programs, that express a positive concern for animals.

Creative Program

There are contemporary painters, sculptors, poets, legal theorists, philosophers -- all on the cutting edge of our best art and thought and all united by their informed concern for animals. These gifted hands and minds deserve tangible and meaningful support.

This program funds original work by artists and thinkers that expresses a positive concern for animals
