The EA Funds Animal Welfare Fund is a professionally managed philanthropic fund which aims to effectively improve the wellbeing of non-human animals.

The Animal Welfare Fund has historically supported many different interventions, including advocacy in neglected countries, research that improves our understanding of relevant issues, and campaigns that push large corporations to improve their farm animal welfare policies. In recent payouts, the Fund has made a number of small startup grants to emerging organisations, as well as grants to more established players in the space

The Fund focuses on projects that primarily address farmed animals, as well as projects that could affect other large populations of nonhuman animals. To date, they have recommended several million dollars' worth of grants supporting:

• emerging animal welfare groups in a range of countries

• research to improve the focus and efficacy of animal advocacy

• campaigns to reform corporate policies

• research on and advocacy for alternative proteins
