CONGRATULATIONS 2010 FOUNDATION GRANT AWARD WINNERS... |
|
Our congratulations go out to the following Vision for Animals Foundation Grant winners for 2010-2011.
Thank you to everyone who continually supports the Foundation to help fund these annual grants. The VAF's goal is to accumulate 1-1.5 million dollars in reserve to become a self-funding granting institution, therefore they sincerely appreciate your continued support to reach this goal. Hopefully in years to come the VAF will be able to fund additional research grants, including Diplomates' work. |
