Hey Rick! What advice do you have for animal-focused groups trying to appeal to environmentally-focused funders? Any specific strategies to bridge the gap?
With limited funding for animals and a relative handful of funders doing a heck of a lot, this is one of the key questions a lot of us have been trying to answer.
The answer is easy — and hard — in equal measure, I think. We need to do more of what we’re already doing: talking about the environmental impact of animal agriculture. Getting into the meetings and conferences and spaces where these funders talk. Creating spaces for orgs and funders to address these issues together.
It’s not only about getting to the environmentally-focused funders, but how do we get new funders and donors into our space? I don’t have all of those answers, but I’m trying to find out!
