July 2021: Animal Welfare Fund Grants

Abstract

Animal Welfare Fund made 30 grants totaling $1,917,000 in its 2021 Q3 grant cycle. The Fund’s focus areas were large-scale neglected animal populations, neglected geographies, and exploratory work on scaling alternative proteins. Significant updates in grant reporting included the increase in anonymous grant reporting and the decrease in shared reasoning behind grant decisions. Grant recipients included organizations working on cage-free advocacy, farmed animal welfare, research and advocacy for crustaceans, and improving wild animal welfare in Asia. Additionally, there were grants for capacity building, operational costs, research, and policy work. – AI-generated abstract.
