April 2017: Animal Welfare Fund grants
Effective Altruism Funds, 2017
Abstract
This document presents the disbursements for the Animal Welfare Fund in April 2017, totaling $180,000 to nine grantees. The grants were distributed to organizations involved in farm animal welfare and advocacy, wild animal welfare research, and grassroots activism. The goal was to signal the types of projects likely to receive funding from the fund, diversify the approaches supported, and foster room for additional funding by individual donors and other sources. The grants were recommended based on factors such as the organizations’ effectiveness, potential for further funding, and alignment with the fund’s objectives. – AI-generated abstract.
