Hi! We're from Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) and we recently opened applications for our 2025 Movement Grants. Movement Grants is our strategic grantmaking program dedicated to building and strengthening the animal advocacy movement. On February 17, we’ll be answering your questions!
The AMA is your chance to ask our team about what projects we’re likely to fund, the application process, how to make a good application, and anything else about the program. Applications close March 14, 11:59 PM PT, in order to apply for this round you will need to submit your Expression of Interest by March 7.
Our team members answering questions are:
- Eleanor McAree, Movement Grants Manager
- Elisabeth Ormandy, Programs Director
- Holly Baines, Communications Manager
You can submit your questions beforehand by commenting on this post and we’ll get to them on the 17th, or you can come back to this post on the day. We look forward to answering your questions!
Thank you for your question—it sounds like an exciting initiative. For a proposal like this, we would need to understand how the event would lead to meaningful change for a large number of animals. Specifically, we’d be interested in whether the event is targeting influential individuals within the movement, how it differs from or complements existing initiatives, and what concrete outcomes it aims to achieve.
If you decide to submit an expression of interest, providing specific examples of expected outcomes would strengthen your proposal.
Eleanor
