Is your organization tackling issues related to industrial animal agriculture in low- and middle-income countries? Does your organization want to make use of academic research and experts to understand the issues deeply and bolster its work? If you answer “Yes!” to both questions, apply for Fueling Advocates Initiative Grants Program!

Scope and Purpose

• FAI grants are aimed at enabling non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to use academic research and experts to fuel and bolster their work by providing them with: (i) in-depth knowledge and understanding of the complexities in industrial animal agriculture – particularly with regard to LMICs; (ii) high quality evidence, sound concepts, reliable information. 
• All aspects and issues associated with industrial food animal production fall within the scope of FAI grants. For 2024, priority is given to grant applications that focus on using academic research /researchers to:
  • Understand and address: (i) These key drivers: Financing; government support; trade and import/export. (ii) Power and influence (who wields the most, how to challenge it, etc.) 
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of specific programs and strategies as independent third party. 
  • Assist organizations in the Global South (e.g. upskill and build capacity of their staff and volunteers, raise these organizations’ reputation as credible and evidence-based). 
• Note: Grants cannot be used for propaganda or attempts to influence legislation in any country.

Funding Information

• Each applicant can request a grant amount from USD6,000 (minimum) to 24,000 (maximum).
• The award period is nine months.

(Tiny Beam Fund reserves the right to withdraw a grant offer if, upon further inquiry, the organization cannot be determined as one to which Tiny Beam Fund can support as per U.S. government rules and regulations.)
