The Vegan Society, a UK charity which exists to increase awareness of veganism for the benefit of people, animals and the environment, has announced it will accept applications during the month of July 2024.
This year, the Society is offering grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 with an eye to supporting fewer projects but those having a higher impact.
The funding is intended for new and innovative projects which will encourage non-vegans to go vegan and stay vegan.
The Society is looking for projects that:
- Raise public awareness of veganism in a positive way.
- Promote veganism in a unique or exciting way to non-vegans.
- Support people from marginalised backgrounds to access veganism.
The projects can take place anywhere in the world, with a particular emphasis on those based in economically developing countries. Priority will be given to applications from groups who are considered to be marginalised, such as applications from people of colour and members of the LGBTQ+ community. There is particular interest in applications from groups of people underrepresented in the mainstream vegan movement.
To be eligible, applicants must be a vegan, a non-profit organisation or individual with a non-profit project.
The grant must be a direct contribution toward the aims and goals of the project being met and thus cannot be used for general running costs.
Applications will be accepted from 1 July to 1 August 2024.
