| Animalia Foundation and Animalia Foundation Prize | |||
| Introduction | |||
| 1 | The Animalia Foundation (hereafter „the Foundation“) was created in 1998. It has its headquarters in the Principality of Liechtenstein and operates according to the Liechtenstein Law of Persons and Corporations within the meaning of article 552 as amended by the Law of 26 June 2008 on the Amendment of the Persons and Companies Act (Liechtenstein Law Gazette (Liechtensteinisches Landesgesetzblatt) 2008 Volume, No. 220, published on 26 August 2008). | ||
| 2 | As per its Articles of Foundation, the sole purpose of the Foundation is to support individuals or organisations who make a valuable contribution to the cause of wildlife preservation, natural habitat protection or the prevention of cruelty towards animals. In general, the Foundation seeks to promote a greater appreciation of nature and animals. | ||
| 3 | The Foundation’s support takes the form of a monetary prize, the amount and periodicity of which are determined by the Foundation Council (hereafter “the Council”) according to internal criteria. In general, the prize is attributed every year or every second year. | ||
| 4 | For each Prize, the Council identifies
candidates whose actions in favour of animals encounter the purpose of the
Foundation, and who are willing to submit a specific and detailed project
for which the Foundation’s help is sought. The requested information
and documentation concerning this proposed project is to be submitted according
to the format specified in the application form, as found hereafter. In selecting the beneficiary, the Foundation considers first and foremost the relevance of the proposed project to the purpose of the Foundation as stated above. It tends to give preference to specific projects which expand or otherwise benefit an already existing and demonstrably effective program managed by the candidate. |
||
| 5 | Because of the importance of the
proposed project in determining the attribution of the Prize, the beneficiary
must agree to spend the Prize money exactly according to his/her original
proposal, any deviation requiring the prior authorization of the Foundation.
At the completion of the project, the beneficiary must also agree to send a short completion report to the Foundation and to provide, upon request, all relevant documents establishing that the Prize money has been spent on the specific project, as detailed in the application form. |
||
| 6 | If the total cost of the proposed project exceeds the value of the Animalia Foundation Prize under consideration, it is the responsibility of the candidates to secure additional financing prior to submitting the project to the Foundation. Candidates may, however, divide their project into two successive phases and propose each phase for two successive Animalia Foundation Prizes, provided that at least the first phase of the project is independently viable. | ||
| 7 | A total of 7 Prizes for a total value of about EUR 62’000.00, have been granted so far to 6 different beneficiaries. | ||
| Current and preceding Prizes | |||
| The 2010 Animalia Prize was awarded
to "Pro Fauna Indonesia", to help researching and publishing a
small book in Indonesia, showing that cruelty to animals is incompatible
with the teachings of the Koran. The current 2011 Animalia Prize has just been granted to the Prince Laurent Foundation, Belgium, to help funding a program of free vaccinations benefiting the pets of economically needy people. 2012 Prize The Council is inviting applications for the 2012 Prize, in a maximum amount of EUR 10’000.00, which may be split over 2 beneficiaries. Preference will be given to a small project requiring no more than EUR 5’000.00 to EUR 6’000.00, permitting the selection of 2 beneficiaries for 2012. Applications should be received before December 1st, 2011. A selection of the winning project is expected by February 15, 2012. |
