Program areas at Lever Foundation
Lever Foundation worked with major food companies to inspire and help them remove the worst forms of animal cruelty from their supply chain, with a particular focus on helping companies commit to ending the use of battery cages (or other cage confinement of egg-laying hens) in their supply chain. Lever Foundation focused its efforts on achieving these policy changes in the greater China region and throughout Asia generally. Note: expenses are a rounded approximation, as many program expenses span more than one program area.
Lever Foundation maintains a grant program in which restricted donations made to the Foundation are granted to entities in other countries doing work to advance farm animal welfare. In 2022, a grant was provided to an entity in Ireland that was engages in farm animal protection and promotion of plant-based eating. This entity's mission and programs share the charitable mission of Lever Foundation of preventing cruelty to animals and promoting humane and sustainable food choices. Note: expenses are a rounded approximation, as many program expenses span more than one program area.
Lever Foundation worked to grow the alternative protein space (plant-based meat, egg and dairy products, and "clean" meat, egg and dairy products that are produced from cellular agriculture or fermentation without the need for live animals) by assisting entrepreneurs with starting companies in the space, helping startups secure investment funding, and directing more investor interest and investment dollars to the alternative protein space. Lever Foundation also worked with major food companies to promote adding more alternative protein options. Lever Foundation focused its efforts on growing the alternative protein space in the greater China region. Because of the nature of this work, it is hard to estimate a specific number of animals that will benefit from work done in this area by Lever Foundation in 2020. Note: expenses are a rounded approximation, as many program expenses span more than one program area.
