Why does Stray Dog Institute give to end factory farming?

Our mission is rooted in the vision of our co-founders, Chuck and Jennifer Laue, whose dedication to a more compassionate world for animals, people, and the environment drives our work. Their love for companion animals led them to advocate for farmed animals, and they were among the first members of Farmed Animal Funders.

How has FAF membership helped SDI in its giving?

Our team—including Tom Conger, Laura Driscoll, and myself—greatly values the connections, collaboration, and learning that FAF provides. FAF membership strengthens our understanding of movement strategies and expands our opportunities to partner with fellow funders to enhance and connect efforts across the movement. We are proud to be part of this brilliant and exceptionally dedicated group!
