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.
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.
Application due dates: The next application due date is January 14, 2022, by 5:00 p.m. EST. Notification times are between 4 and 8 weeks from application submission.
Upcoming application due dates are:
April 15, 2022
July 15, 2022
