Summary

ACE will be accepting applications for our 2024 Movement Grants from February 19 through March 17. If you’re looking for funding to support your promising project or charity, we encourage you to apply for a grant!

 

The Movement Grants program is dedicated to building and strengthening the global animal advocacy movement through impactful grants. We prioritize supporting initiatives that use novel interventions, target large numbers of animals, and are in underrepresented regions.

Timeline Summary

  • February 19: Call for applications opens
  • March 17: Call for applications closes

For applications of $20,000 USD or less:

  • Early May: Emails sent to applicants notifying whether their applications have been conditionally approved, pending due diligence checks
  • Mid May: Due diligence checks.
  • End May: Final funding decisions are made
  • Early June: Funds are disbursed to successful applicants

For applications over $20,000 USD:

  • Early May: Shortlisted applicants are notified and may receive follow-up questions.
  • Early June: Due diligence checks are conducted.
  • Late June: Final funding decisions are made.
  • Early July: Funds are disbursed to successful applicants

Process Details

Stage 1: Application

Applications must be submitted via the application form by March 17. Only one application per organization is permitted. We welcome applications in any language. Non-English applications will be translated using digital services like DeepL or Google Translate. Applicants will be informed by early May if they have progressed to the next stage.

Stage 2: Follow-up Questions

For applications over $20,000 USD, additional follow-up questions may be sent to clarify aspects of the proposal. This step is skipped for applications of $20,000 USD or less.

Stage 3: Due Diligence and Grant Disbursal

During this stage, background documentation is required for due diligence purposes. For applications of $20,000 USD or less, funding confirmation and disbursal will occur by the end of May and early June, respectively. For applications over $20,000 USD, these occur by the end of June and early July.

Following Up

After project completion or when your grant concludes, a questionnaire is sent to all of our grantees for updates. Grant update calls are also available if requested.

Changes to the Program in 2024

  • The cap on grant size has been removed, although the focus remains on emerging organizations with smaller budgets, and our typical grant size is unlikely to change.
  • The lifetime cap on total grants has been removed, allowing us to continue to support impactful groups over multiple years.
  • The application process has been simplified, requiring applicants to apply for either general support or one specific project.
  • Feedback is provided for all successful applications and upon request for unsuccessful applications.

We will be updating our website with all the information you need to apply over the next few weeks. Keep an eye out here!

Hello Fast! This year, the new aquaculture law will begin to be created, and we have launched several campaigns to raise awareness about marine animals and bring them closer to the public. One of these is our Save the Lobsters (Salvemos a las Langostas) campaign. A major Chilean supermarket (with locations in several Latin American countries) displays lobsters for sale in small aquariums that violate basic animal welfare standards and, furthermore, lack an internal protocol for their sale. In response, we have taken various actions, one of which is to alert the public. We have created a website to raise awareness about the situation, recently launched a petition for signatures, and as a result of our efforts, the Colegio Médico Veterinario de Chile (Chilean Veterinary Medical Association) has issued a statement supporting the view that invertebrates are sentient beings! This is very encouraging for us, as this is a highly respected professional body in Chile. We invite you to learn more about our campaign and reach out to us for any feedback you may have. We would be happy to hear from you.   Best regards, Marysabel Pavez Director Fundación Derecho y Defensa Animal (DyDAnimal Chile) marysabel@dydanimal.com

Hi FAST!  The fight against fur farming in Sweden has taken yet another step forward.  This past week, the Swedish government has officially launched an inquiry into how a fur farming ban can be implemented. This follows a commitment made in 2023 and is the result of over 50 years of advocacy by Project 1882.  Last year, the government pledged to phase out mink farms and explore a full ban on fur farming. To support this transition, financial aid was introduced earlier this year to help farmers shut down their operations. Now, with this inquiry in motion, Sweden is closer than ever to ending fur farming for good. A legal ban is essential to ensure fur farming never returns.  The inquiry will outline how the ban will be enforced, with “animal ethics discussions” cited as a reason for moving forward. With the last mink farms expected to close to qualify for the government’s decommissioning support of 180 million SEK, industry resistance is fading, making a ban easier to implement.  Now, Project 1882 is urging the Swedish government to move forward with the inquiry without delay and to push for an EU-wide ban in line with the Fur Free Europe citizens’ initiative.  Read more here: https://www.project1882.org/news/major-victory-sweden-moves-closer-ban-fur-farming

Animal Outlook has launched its first Behavior Change and Volunteer Impact report, showing the results of programs that aim to influence lasting behavior change. Produced in collaboration with User-Friendly, the report documents some of the ways we can create measurable progress in shifting public attitudes and behaviors towards vegan eating. The report also shows the impact of volunteers in helping to maximize efforts in the animal protection movement. Last year, Animal Outlook volunteers completed almost 6,000 hours of work for animals. Read the full report here: https://animaloutlook.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Final-Behavior-Change-and-Volunteer-Impact-Report-2024.pdf  Coverage in Vegconomist: https://vegconomist.com/market-and-trends/animal-outlook-finds-behavior-change-strategies-volunteer-efforts-fuel-growth-vegan-diets/
