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.

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!

Developed by Animal Law Focus – Beta Version Now Available Animal Law Focus is proud to launch the first interactive map of its kind in Chile, providing public access to the locations and profiles of farms, slaughterhouses and aquaculture facilities, across the country. This tool was created to promote transparency, legal accountability, and informed advocacy in the farm animal sector. The map includes: * All identified facilities involved in animal production, including broiler farms, egg-laying operations, dairy farms, fattening units, slaughterhouses, and aquaculture facilities. * A unique profile for each facility, detailing its official registration and any animal welfare infractions recorded over the last five years. * Direct access to publicly available data sourced from national enforcement agencies. 🔧 Currently in its beta version, this tool is a work in progress. It will be continuously updated and improved to ensure it becomes the most comprehensive and accessible enforcement database for animal agriculture in Chile. Our aim is to equip the public, advocates, journalists, researchers, and policymakers with the data they need to demand stronger protections for animals and push for systemic reform. This launch is part of a broader strategy to shine a light on practices that are often hidden from public view — and to ensure that existing animal protection laws are effectively enforced. 📢 We will soon publish our first national report analysing five years of enforcement data and proposing concrete legal reforms to strengthen animal welfare in Chile.

Humánny pokrok has launched its new flagship campaign called STOP rýchlokurčatám (“STOP the fast chickens”) focusing on broiler chickens in Slovakia. The goal was to establish chicken welfare as a relevant public issue in Slovakia, secure a mandate for action from the public, and prepare the grounds for future corporate outreach efforts and pressure campaigns. We’ve launched with publishing the first investigation footage from broiler chicken farms in Slovakia, which was presented in the news segment and investigation programme of the biggest TV station in the country, reaching over half a million viewers, and an additional 1.2 million later on social media. This was followed by a campaign including an agency produced video with a local celebrity that has reached over 2 million people (over one third of the population). On top of that, we’ve published two new reports: one covering the welfare issues of fast growing breeds of broiler chickens, the market data, opinion polls, and ECC commitments and requirements, and one covering the financial aspects of transitioning to ECC compliant production in Slovakia. The reports reached an additional 1 million people through media mentions. We’ve already met with a couple of retailers and are working on additional meetings as we speak. But so far, despite some early signs of possible progress, they are trying to deflect media inquiries and public statements. The Poultry union is, surprisingly, pointing to imported chickens as the main issue, essentially throwing the ball at the retailers as well. However, the investigated farmers are ramping up their legal threats to levels not seen before, probably encouraged by the political situation in the country and decline of the rule of law.  Three weeks after the launch, the campaign collected over 30,000 petition signatures (slightly more than 0.5% of population) calling for the end of fast growing chickens, which is slightly less than we were aiming for, but should be sufficient
