Farmed Animal Funders (FAF) is a group of funders committed to replacing factory farming with a more humane and sustainable food system — leading to a world free of the suffering factory farming causes to animals, people, and the environment. To get there faster, FAF seeks to share, learn, and collaborate to become more effective funders.
Despite these effects, less than 0.1% of global philanthropic donations go towards improving or replacing factory farming. Farmed Animal Funders sees remedying factory farming as a neglected but tractable global priority and an incredible opportunity to dramatically improve the world.
Farmed Animal Funders is open to all individuals and foundations giving more than $250,000 per year to end factory farming. It is a learning community with no pooled funding, which shares resources and ideas about how to advance the fight to end industrialised animal agriculture and transition to a more plant-based society through personal philanthropy.
FAF’s research aims to help funders find promising giving opportunities and give them the confidence needed to allocate funding to these opportunities. This work includes:
We don't currently have further information about the cost-effectiveness of Farmed Animal Funders beyond it doing work in a high-impact cause area and taking a reasonably promising approach.
