The Vegan Society Grant
Overview
The Vegan Society Grant is open to individuals and grassroots organisations. It exists to support 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.
A typical award is £1000 – £5000 which is granted to projects that meet their criteria and are selected by their cross-department panel.
The more detail you can give them about how this money would be spent, the better.
They are 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 marginalised backgrounds to access veganism
For 2025/6
They are able to fund projects that fit into one of the below four categories. Please only apply if you have a project that clearly fits into one of these categories.
