Activist investment fund which invests in large companies and then leans on them to change their policies. Examples abound in climate change, but other than that:
Food related companies to stop factory farming
Biotech companies to stop them from doing gain of function or mirror life research
Bezos bought the Washington Post for $250 million. We could try to buy some other media groups, or at least a significant number of shares in them. Some are probably too big, like the New York Times at $8 billion market cap and Fox Corporation at $20 billion.
I think food-related companies are also probably too big relative to impact, with market caps in the billions or tens of billions of dollars for Tyson, Pilgrim’s Pride, JBS SA, McDonald’s. You could buy shares in smaller ones, but they also probably have a disproportionately smaller share of farmed animals, although getting a few of them to improve animal welfare policies could make the big ones look bad and push them to follow.
