HOW IT WORKS
VegFund’s Special Project Grant program is designed for longer-term projects, rather than one-time events. Special Projects typically are designed to reach a broad audience or to build deeper connections with a smaller target audience and are planned with specific implementation timelines. To learn more about how VegFund’s grantmaking works, visit our Grant Guidelines.
Examples of Special Project grants include:
- Mentored campaigns and vegan challenges
- Humane education and other school-year outreach
- Long-term advocacy projects
- Learning tools such as curriculum development, video series, training modules, etc.
Special Project Grants are accepted and reviewed quarterly, following the schedule below.
Special Project grantees may be asked to submit periodic progress reports and receive multiple disbursements throughout the grant cycle. VegFund prioritizes projects with clearly defined goals that are measurable, a reasonable plan for implementation, a relatively low cost-to-conversion ratio, and well-thought-out target audience.
