Stray Dog Institute Grant
All Information
The Stray Dog Institute provides flexible grants and strategic support to nonprofit organizations working to reduce, reform, or replace the use of animals in food production. It prioritizes organizations advancing farmed-animal advocacy, plant-based food systems, alternative proteins, public education, research, and movement-building. Organizations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America receive particular geographic priority. Funding is intended to strengthen organizational capacity and long-term impact rather than support conventional commercial businesses.
