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. 

  1. A project that puts on a local festival or event for a non-vegan audience. The report on this should include good quality photography of the event.
  2. A project to support small scale animal agriculture farming to transition to crop farming or land management. Or other forms of sustainable land management that don't use animals.
  3. A project that directly communicates vegan health nutrition guidance to healthcare bodies or professionals e.g. dietitians or doctors.
  4. A project that works with policy stakeholders to change local environmental policy.

You can apply if you are all of the below:

  • A vegan
  • A non-profit organisation or individual with a non-profit project
  • Not a Vegan Society staff member or trustee
