Why do we give to end factory farming?

  • Factory farming causes over 100 billion animals to suffer deprivation, fear, and pain every year.

  • Factory farming is a chief cause of environmental degradation and climate change.

  • Factory farming harms human health, by breeding superbugs that can lead to pandemics and producing products that cause chronic illnesses.

  • And so much more, including worsening human hunger, the decline of rural community, and species extinction.

Yet, <0.1% of global philanthropic donations go towards improving or replacing factory farming.

We see remedying factory farming as a neglected but tractable global priority and an incredible opportunity for us to dramatically improve the world.

Who Are We?

Our group is open to all individuals and foundations giving more than $250,000 per year to end factory farming. We are a learning community with no pooled funding. We share resources and ideas about how to advance the fight to end industrialized animal agriculture and transition to a more plant-based society through our personal philanthropy.

What Research Do We Complete?

Our research aims to help funders find promising giving opportunities and give them the confidence needed to allocate funding to those opportunities. Please see our research page for further information.

Our Mission

We’re a group of funders committed to replacing factory farming with a more humane and sustainable food system. We seek a world free of the suffering factory farming causes to animals, people, and the environment. We know we’ll get there faster together, and seek to share, learn, and collaborate to become more effective funders.

We share some core commitments:

We will generously support farm animal and plant-based advocacy with our financial and non-financial resources.

We will constantly seek more effective ways to maximize the impact of our giving, including through sharing with and learning from one another.

We will help to build a broader community of donors and leaders passionate about this issue, and a broader movement of advocates equipped to fight it.
