About
Farmed Animal Funders (FAF) is not a grantmaking organization. We are a decentralized funding collaborative, aimed at expediting the end of factory farming through collaboration and shared learning. FAF staff provide individualized advice and research to our members. Each member of Farmed Animal Funders maintains full autonomy over their own philanthropy.
