Eligibility Criteria
- The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was founded on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment by humans. They invite all voices to join them in working together to improve the lives of animals in need.
- Eligible Entities:
- This RFP is open to any U.S. nonprofit, for-profit, or public entity engaged in local, regional, or state-based efforts against local factory farming. Their focus this year is on groups operating locally or deploying to local efforts, rather than those solely operating at a national level.
- Groups or campaigns that are not an existing 501(c)(3), fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3), nor established as a nonprofit or for-profit legal entity (e.g., LLC) may still be considered for funding, provided they are demonstrably established with:
- A history of efforts undertaken to destabilize factory farming in their region;
- The budget and planning flexibility to not learn their grant status until late in 2025 and, if selected, to not receive funds until the end of the year; and
- The willingness and ability to form a legal entity prior to receiving funds.
