About the Organisation
Thrive Philanthropy is a global grantmaker with a mission to amplify just, plant-based food systems and accelerate alternatives to industrial animal agriculture by strengthening frontline organizations through grants and capacity-building. Thrive's grantmaking is sustained by a multi-donor pooled fund.
As of January 2024, Thrive has moved nearly $2M to nearly 100 grantees from 60 countries and we have expanded the plant-based movement in 1 out of every 3 countries in the world through grants and capacity. Thrive is also significantly catalyzing the Africa-based vegan, food justice movement and has reached 30% of African countries through grantmaking, movement-building, and pan-Africa joint campaigns. Please find Thrive's 2023 annual report here.
Over the next 2 years, Thrive Philanthropy aims to triple its global grantmaking, deepen its Africa capacity work, and launch capacity-building projects across South America and Asia.
Thrive Philanthropy uses a Trust-Based Philanthropy and equitable giving approach. Equity is the center of all of Thrive's work. Thrive also operates from a vegan ethic and believes all animals-both human and otherwise- have autonomy and the right to a life free from intentional harm and exploitation.
Thrive Philanthropy operates a hybrid model and is registered as both a 501c3 public charity and DBA. The Board of Directors governs the 501c3. All grantmaking and programs are housed at Thrive Philanthropy, Inc. 501c3. Donor services are divided between the 501c3 and Thrive Philanthropy Consulting, DBA.
