Can I directly ask: Is SWP one of the orgs that has been affected by Good Ventures dropping support for some cause areas? (I couldn’t parse all the context previously on a quick skim.)
I’m not sure how much they funded you previously, or if this is a concern. No worries if you can’t or would prefer not to say :)
Hey Angelina! Sure—happy to answer :) Yes we were affected by the Good Ventures announcement, and our current funding update is actually very similar to that of Wild Animal Initiative, as in:
The Navigation Fund (TNF) plans to fill SWP’s funding gap left by OP, at least through the end of 2026.
We’re keen on diversifying our funding, so as not to continue relying on a single funder
However we differ in that our budget is smaller than that of WAI, and the majority of it is put toward a single program (HSI)
Wow, go TNF 🙌💜 I didn’t realize they were bailing out non wild animal welfare orgs as well, that’s very cool—and must have been a lift. That all makes sense. Congrats, and I’m wishing you success on the funding diversity front!
