Ideal Applicant
A US-based animal-advocacy organization or fellowship aligned with Direct Action Everywhere’s tactics and priorities, especially California-based groups or national partners working on direct-action animal advocacy.
Good Fit
- • Mission focused on animal advocacy, farmed-animal sanctuaries, or direct-action campaigns
- • Demonstrated alignment or prior collaboration with the Direct Action Everywhere network
- • Project-size and budget appropriate to six-figure and sub-100k grants (fellowships, sanctuary support, campaign funding)
- • California presence or clear plan for California-focused impact
Geography
Grants were made to recipients in four states in the latest year, but roughly three quarters of dollars stayed in California, indicating a regionally concentrated but multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct recipients and across three years the funder supported both repeat and new organizations, so the recipient set is moderate in breadth even though dollars are concentrated among the top recipients.
New Applicants
Observed giving includes new grantees in recent years (multiple new recipients in 2023 and 2024) and the public profile lists application forms and an info email, but awarding is clearly selective and heavily weighted toward mission-aligned recipients, so new entrants are plausible but competitive.
