Vegan trusts
VegFund - VegFund empowers vegan activists worldwide by funding and supporting effective outreach activities that inspire people to choose and maintain a vegan lifestyle. They believe in a compassionate world where all people embrace a vegan way of life. Comprised almost entirely of volunteers with no centralized office, VegFund keeps its operating costs very low allowing more funds to go directly to outreach.
Since its inception in 2009,
- VegFund sponsored over 1,700 vegan outreach projects in the US, Canada, Mexico, Japan, UK, Australia, India, Africa, and South America.
- More than 600,000 VegFund-sponsored vegan food samples were distributed.
- Over 6 million online viewers have been exposed to the realities of factory farming.
Kindness Trust - In his early thirties, Philip Wollen (founder of Kindness Trust) was Vice President of Citibank. The Financial Press rated him in the Top 40 “The Brightest and Best” of the most headhunted executives in Australia.
During travels around the world he saw cruelty on such a massive scale that it affected him profoundly. By the age of 40, he had become a committed activist for social justice. He decided to give away everything he possessed, with warm hands, and die broke. He jokes, ‘So far, we are right on budget!’
Today, Phil and his wife Trix support 500 humanitarian projects for children, animals, the arts, and the environment in 40+ countries. He provides schools, hospitals, orphanages, shelters, ambulances, bore-wells, medical equipment, food, and disaster relief.
A Well-fed World - A Well-Fed World is a hunger relief and animal protection organization chipping away at two of the world's most immense, unnecessary and unconscionable forms of suffering - the suffering of people from lack of food and the suffering of animals used as food.
They have a positive, practical and action-led approach that produces immediate assistance for those in need and structural change for lasting results.
Specifically, they raise funds, partner with, and promote innovative, highly-effective projects that strengthen:
- vegan feeding programs
- farm animal care & rescue
- pro-veg advocacy & community-building.
They provide quarterly grants to approximately a dozen projects in the U.S. and internationally. To date, they've provided more than 150 grants to more than 120 groups and individuals.
