Executive summary: Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP) is building systematic animal advocacy infrastructure across universities through campus events, medical education, and career development, with demonstrated success in engaging students and plans to expand to top 100 universities by 2028.
Key points:
Prior to ASAP’s work, there was virtually no animal advocacy activity on college campuses (Spring 2023); they’ve now established presence at 15 major universities
Key programs include medical education featuring renowned physicians discussing plant-based nutrition, Dominion screenings (reaching 230+ people), and career development in animal advocacy
Successful engagement tactics include provocative demonstrations (e.g., “Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat”), documentary screenings, and guest lectures, with documented impact on student career choices
Operating with just one full-time employee, ASAP demonstrates cost-effective scaling ($1-$10,000 funding tiers) with matched donations
Immediate goal is expanding staff to support growth, with specific focus on reaching tens of thousands more students each semester at prestigious universities
