Animal Justice Project Trust

Animal Justice Project Trust is a UK-registered charity established in 2019, spun off from the advocacy group Animal Justice Project (founded 2014), dedicated to advancing public education in veganism. It funds grants for projects exposing harms in animal agriculture—particularly intensive farming and slaughter of cows, chickens, ducks, goats, and fish—while promoting vegan alternatives. Rooted in animal liberation, non-violence, and opposition to all exploitation, the Trust rejects "higher welfare" reforms, demanding total abolition of animal farming to mainstream vegan diets and end cruelty. Governed by three trustees, it emphasizes evidence-led advocacy, transparency, and high-impact outcomes like media exposés, prosecutions, boycotts, and protests.

It exclusively supports vegan abolitionist campaigns, including undercover investigations revealing welfare violations, public education via street outreach, pop-up vegan stands, billboards, petitions, lobbying, and literature on issues like calf-dairy separation. Beneficiaries are farmed animals, society through awareness, and grassroots activists; grants target strategic, tangible interventions across England and Wales, favoring small, activist-led groups without formal income thresholds.

Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding occurs ad hoc via trustee decisions or pre-existing relationships, with no open calls, deadlines, or portals. Typical grants range £2,000–£15,000 (£5,000–£10,000 common) for projects, not core costs, sanctuaries, capital, or welfare reforms. Distinctive for its uncompromising vegan focus, it differentiates from incrementalist funders by prioritizing bold exposés and systemic change over industry tweaks.
