It supports a mix of grassroots organizers, advocacy groups, sanctuaries, investigative journalism projects, and capacity‑building programs, with particular interest in plant‑based food system change and inclusive leadership for underrepresented regions (notably Africa and parts of Asia).
Rolling, program‑driven grantmaking across multiple named programs and regranting initiatives; awards range from small monthly seed grants (~$500) to six‑ and seven‑figure grants, with many program-specific deadlines (quarterly or annual) and some invite‑only initiatives.
