$5,000 annual Humane School prize

Each year, the Animal Club that does the most for animals receives a $5,000 cash prize for their school.

The prize is given to the Animal Club that has fulfilled the following criteria: exhibited energy and innovation in its activities; successfully encouraged respect and compassion for animals locally or nationally; and sent in regular ‘activity updates’ to Animal Club.

Seed Funding - Available all year

Animal Clubs can apply for $500 ‘seed funding’ to help them with activity costs like educational speakers, excursions to animal shelters and the purchase of humane education materials etc.

Tell us about your planned activity and why you need ‘seed funding’ when you register your Animal Club or send us your seed funding request by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it once you have established your Animal Club.

For some great activity ideas, please visit our Activity Ideas page. At the bottom of that page, you will also find a list of activities not recommended for Animal Club (and therefore not eligible for seed funding).
