Welfare Footprint Project — Research on Animal Welfare Reforms (2023)

Visit Grantee Site
  • Focus Area: Farm Animal Welfare
  • Organization Name: Welfare Footprint Project
  • Amount: $1,250,000

  • Award Date: December 2022

Table of Contents

    Open Philanthropy recommended a contract of $1,250,000 over three years with the Welfare Footprint Project (formerly known as Center for Welfare Metrics) to support its work to model the welfare impacts of farm animal welfare reforms. Welfare Footprint Project will extend its work to several new species — likely fish, shrimp, and pigs.

    This follows our January 2020 contract, which led to research on the welfare impact of cage-free reforms that has helped to inform both our grantmaking and the work of several farm animal welfare organizations. This falls within our focus area of farm animal welfare.

    This project was supported through a contractor agreement. While we typically do not publish pages for contractor agreements, we occasionally opt to do so.
