November 2017: Animal Welfare Fund grants

Abstract

This report details grant disbursements by the Animal Welfare Fund (AWF), a project of the Centre for Effective Altruism in November 2017, totaling $150,000 to seven organizations working to reduce animal suffering. The grants were allocated to groups that are potentially as promising as Animal Charity Evaluators’ top charities but have more room for funding and greater potential for impact. These include Wild-Animal Suffering Research, focused on improving wild animal welfare; Compassion in World Farming USA, conducting corporate outreach to reduce the suffering of farm animals; The Fórum Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Animal and Sinergia Animal, both working in Latin America to secure corporate commitments to eliminate hen cages and pig crates; The Sentience Institute, conducting research on farm animal welfare; The Humane League and The Good Food Institute, working to build a grassroots movement for farm animals and promote technological alternatives to factory farmed animal products, respectively. – AI-generated abstract.
