VegFund is an international organization dedicated to providing assistance to vegan advocates around the world. They hope to promote a vegan lifestyle, with no animal products or exploitation, to all people on Earth.

Community Event Grants fund the most important work of promoting a plant-based lifestyle. Sponsored events are generally single day or no more than a week long.

Applications are accepted on a continual basis and the review process typically takes a month. Applicants outside the United States should expect their review time to be longer due to U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control requirements.

Grant Types

Food Sampling

Offering food samples is one of the best ways to expose non-vegans to a plant-based diet. VegFund has many helpful resources to help with planning a successful event providing a taste of alternatives to animal products.

Paid-Per-View

PPV events feature short but impactful videos about animal agriculture. Recommended videos as well as other resources are available.

Film Screening

Longer documentaries can make an even greater impression on the viewer. Grant funds may be used to pay licensing fees and rent a venue for the screening.
