What we fund
Programs
All of our grantmaking advances animal welfare and animal rights. We take a broad view on culture change, and fund work that expands the cultural dialogue around animal issues. Our grantmaking is organized around three program areas — they reinforce each other: policy fights need political power, political power needs cultural support, and all of it needs research and coordination.
-
Policy & political work
Funding local and statewide animal-protection policy campaigns, ballot initiatives, and the political infrastructure that makes durable wins possible.
-
Movement coordination
Funding convenings, capacity-building, and shared strategy across animal-protection organizations.
-
Research, narrative & culture
Funding rigorous policy research, media projects, and cultural work that shifts how the public thinks about animals.
