| Grant Procedures & Policies Committee |
| The Grant Procedures & Policies Committee is charged annually with reviewing research applications for funding. Guidelines and applications for annual grants are available. Currently the Vision for Animals Foundation only funds research grants that further medical findings for animals (and humans). The Foundation does not offer grants to individuals for pet procedures at this time. |

| Public Relations Committee |
| The primary mission of the Public Relations Committee of the Vision for Animals Foundation is to increase public awareness of the importance of vision to animals, as well as the devastating impact ocular diseases have on the quality of life of animals. The secondary objective of the Committee is to solicit financial contributions from the pet-owning public and veterinary community to support research investigating ocular diseases of animals. The Committee also serves to educate the public about the philanthropic activities of veterinary ophthalmologists, the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists™, and the Vision for Animals Foundation with respect to the well being of animals. |
