    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Catalyst staff also reviewed this page prior to publication.


    Open Philanthropy recommended two grants totaling $447,000 over two years to Catalyst, a new organization led by Dr. Wadchara Pumpradit, to advocate for farm animal welfare in Thailand. This funding is intended to enable the new organization to advocate for pig and chicken welfare, specifically by working with the government to, among other things, provide welfare training and develop humane certification standards.

    This falls within our focus area of farm animal welfare.

    The grant amount was updated in February 2023
