About Welttierschutzstiftung

Welttierschutzstiftung is a Germany-based animal welfare foundation that mainly supports scientific work and professional capacity-building to improve the lives of farm animals in developing countries. Its giving is especially focused on building local veterinary expertise, advancing applied research, and supporting projects that improve animal welfare practices in the Global South. The foundation also backs awareness-raising and practical initiatives, with a particular interest in livestock systems and fish welfare.

Giving Approach

Primarily annual, theme-specific research funding through the WTS Annual Research Grant, with concept submissions reviewed on a yearly cycle. Grants appear to support applied research and partner-led projects in Africa and other developing countries, rather than open-ended general operating support.

How to approach this funder

Watch the annual call closely and submit a concept note by the stated deadline (next listed deadline: 31 March 2026). Strong proposals should be highly applied, centered on farm animal or fish welfare in developing countries, and demonstrate local partnership, capacity-building, and a path to practical impact.
