About Humane World for Animals
A $17.9 million general-support grant to Humane World for Animals International FKA Humane Society International stands out as the largest recent award, and it sits within a pattern of very large institutional grants to animal-protection affiliates and sanctuary partners. Humane World for Animals Inc funds work across animal rescue, policy, sanctuary care, companion-animal access, and protections for wildlife, farmed animals, and animals used in research. Recent awards show that the foundation backs both national advocacy infrastructure and on-the-ground care. Humane Society International received multiple seven-figure general-support grants, while The Fund for Animals Inc also drew repeated large general-support awards across several years. The grantee list also includes Project Chimps, reflecting a clear commitment to long-term care for former research chimpanzees and sanctuary expansion. Alongside those larger awards, the foundation supports community-based animal welfare efforts, including pet food distribution, spay/neuter, low-cost veterinary services, and pet-inclusive housing research. The overall picture is a funder that combines policy, rescue, and direct service support rather than concentrating on a single line of animal welfare work.
What Humane World for Animals Funds
Sanctuary care is a visible thread in the grant record. Humane World for Animals Inc gave $6.5 million to Project Chimps in Blue Ridge, GA to fund the planned expansion of chimpanzee sanctuary, and later awarded $2.5 million to Project Chimps Inc in Morganton, GA for sanctuary and care for former research chimpanzees. Companion-animal access is another consistent area: the foundation gave $1,481,798 to Provision Ministry Inc in Westboro, MA to provide pet food to pet owners in need through the Pets for Life program. It made a similar award of $1,174,787 to Companion Animal Alliance in Baton Rouge, LA for pet food distribution through Pets for Life. The grant to Companion Animal Alliance also included funding for data collection on affordable, pet-inclusive housing, plus no-cost pet care supplies and services and support for attendance at Animal CARE EXPO.
How Humane World for Animals Gives
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure to low six-figure range, with p25 at $54,481, a median of $85,000, and p75 at $163,697. The top of the distribution is shaped by a few very large institutional awards, but many grants sit well below that level. The record also shows recurring support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Humane Society International, The Fund for Animals Inc, Humane Society Legislative Fund, and Project Chimps. Humane World for Animals Inc is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it also makes program-related investments. Several awards are general support, alongside direct-service and capacity-building grants.
