Looking to support vegetarian/vegan feeding programs as a gift to someone special?
Check out our Plants-4-Hunger gift-donation program.
We support organizations and individuals that distribute food directly to people in need for an immediate impact.
We also strengthen long-term food production by supporting community gardens, “stock-free” farming, and other project models that are plant-based, sustainable and adaptable… able to expand to other communities.
Finally, we provide expertise about the benefits of plant-centered solutions to environmental and food security concerns to social justice organizations, think tanks, and policy-makers.
Below are some examples of the food and hunger-focused programs that we have supported through our Global Grants program. See also our full list of grant winners.
You can also give (and receive) the gift of providing vegan food to people in need. Find out more about our Plants-4-Hunger gift-giving campaign.
