Deadline: 30-Jun-22
The Vegan Society Grant is open to individuals and grassroots organizations to support their projects which will encourage non-vegans to go vegan and stay vegan.
The projects are based across the globe, with a particular emphasis on those based in economically developing countries. The Vegan Society Grant (previously the Engaging New Audiences Grants Programme) originated in 2013. It is aimed at small to medium sized grassroots not-for-profit projects that encourage people to go vegan and stay vegan. They are particularly looking to fund new or innovative projects.
Funding Information
A typical award is £1000 which is granted to projects that meet their criteria and are selected by their cross-department panel.
Eligible Projects
The Vegan Society is looking for projects that:
- Raise public awareness of veganism in a positive way.
- Promote veganism in a unique or exciting way to non-vegans.
- Support people from marginalized backgrounds to access veganism.
Target Audience
- Planning your project for a specific audience will increase your project’s chance of making an impact on the participants.
- Projects or events that are aimed at a generic group of people, e.g. ‘residents of Leeds’ or ‘families’, are unlikely to be successful in their application as this indicates that the applicant has not considered their audience when planning their project.
- Examples of a good target audience to plan your project around are ‘academics studying philosophy’, ‘people who follow Hinduism’, ‘parents of vegetarian children’ or ‘people who are passionate about their companion animals’.
Eligibility Criteria
- A vegan.
- A non-profit organization or individual with a non-profit project.
- Not a Vegan Society staff member or trustee.
- Previous recipients of Vegan Society grants are welcome to apply for funding, but the assessment panel will look for significant development of the idea or activity in the new application. Completed final reports from previous projects will be used by the panel during the assessment process. The idea is for projects to become self-sufficient so a successful project should not be reliant on ongoing funding.
- You don’t need to be a member of The Vegan Society to apply, they welcome applicants from long term members or from people who are new to their work, and no preferential treatment will be given based on this, although joining as a member is a great way to support their work.
