The Food Animal Concerns Trust (FACT) supports projects to improve the welfare of their farm animals or build capacity of their operations.This year FACT will offer three types of grants: Certification Grant, Capacity Grant and Pasture Grant
GRANT SIZE
Up to $2,500 per application (joint applications allowed)
ELIGIBILITY
Eligible applications will be scored on the following factors:
- How well the proposed project would help the farm improve animal welfare;
- How well the proposed project is designed and if it would help the farm reach the intended goal (increasing access to or improving pasture, achieving certification, building capacity);
- If there is sufficient expertise to complete the project;
- If the timeline and proposed steps are achievable; and
- If the budget is reasonable and related to the project.
In general, while the number of animals that will benefit from a proposed project is not a stand-alone factor, it may be taken into consideration when scoring comparable projects.
