December 2018: Animal Welfare Fund Grants

Abstract

As a new team, the EA Animal Welfare Fund granted $341K to 11 organizations towards animal welfare. These grants fell into four categories: EAA movement building, EAA research, support to neglected countries, and cell-based meat. Notable grants include support for Charity Entrepreneurship, which seeks to establish multiple effective charities; funding for Rethink Priorities to research effective animal advocacy interventions; and backing for Andrzej Skowron’s photography of factory farms in Poland. Overall, the grants aimed to support a range of initiatives directly working to improve animal welfare or to create a more effective animal advocacy movement. – AI-generated abstract.
