Movement coordination
We support the connective tissue of the animal-protection movement — convenings, shared strategy across organizations, leadership development, and the operational capacity that makes coordinated action possible.
What we fund
- Cross-organizational coordination that aligns efforts and reduces fragmentation.
- Capacity-building for groups doing high-leverage work but lacking infrastructure.
- Leadership pipelines and organizational development for the next generation of policy and political leaders.
- Convenings designed around concrete strategic outcomes, not just networking.
What we look for
- Clear theory of change for how coordination produces movement-level wins.
- Buy-in from the organizations being coordinated, not top-down imposition.
- Realistic scope — small, well-run convenings beat large, unfocused ones.
