This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open Philanthropy | 1,600,000.00 | 1 | Animal welfare/factory farming/chicken/fish | https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/albert-schweitzer-foundation-general-support-2019 | Amanda Hungerford | Intended use of funds (category): Organizational general support Intended use of funds: The grant page says: "The funding will allow the Albert Schweitzer Foundation to continue to pursue animal welfare reforms across Europe, including campaigns and litigation to improve the welfare of egg-laying hens, broiler chickens, farmed fish, and other animals." Other notes: Intended funding timeframe in months: 24. |
|
| Open Philanthropy | 1,000,000.00 | 2 | Animal welfare/factory farming/chicken/turkey/pig | https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/albert-schweitzer-foundation-general-support-2017 | Lewis Bollard | Donation process: The grant page suggests that evaluation of results of previous grants played a role in deciding to make this grant. Intended use of funds (category): Organizational general support Intended use of funds: The grant page says: "The funding will allow the Albert Schweitzer Foundation to significantly expand their corporate outreach on broiler chicken welfare, increase their fundraising capacity, and hire a law firm to pursue litigation related to turkey and pig welfare." Donor reason for selecting the donee: The grant page says: "Our Program Officer for Farm Animal Welfare, Lewis Bollard, is excited to increase our support due to the organization’s track record securing cage-free pledges from major German retailers; his confidence in its leadership team; and the organization’s strategic alignment with our goal to build a stronger farm animal welfare movement in Europe." Donor reason for donating at this time (rather than earlier or later): Timing likely determined based on Open Philanthropy having had enough time to evaluate the outcome of the previous grants and the grantee's overall track record. Intended funding timeframe in months: 24 Donor retrospective of the donation: The followup grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/albert-schweitzer-foundation-general-support-2019 (2019-08) suggests continued satisfaction with the grantee. Other notes: Affected countries: Germany; announced: 2017-10-25. |

| Open Philanthropy | 317,060.00 | 3 | Animal welfare/factory farming/fish/certification | https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/albert-schweitzer-foundation-fish-welfare | Lewis Bollard | Donation process: Granteee submitted a document https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Albert_Schweitzer/Albert_Schweitzer_revised_budget_for_setting_welfare_standards_in_aquaculture.pdf with its 2017 and 2018 budgets. Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses Intended use of funds: Grant to support grantee's "work to develop and implement a fish welfare standard for German retailers. The Albert Schweitzer Foundation plans to use this grant to 1) conduct a study on ways to reduce fish suffering and to analyze the costs of various enhancements of fish welfare, and 2) build relationships with retailers and universities in the aquaculture industry. It plans to use the study to determine which welfare improvements to advocate for." Donor reason for selecting the donee: The grant page says: "This is one of a series of grants to organizations working to improve the conditions of the approximately 1.7 billion fish farmed in the EU and Norway." Donor reason for donating that amount (rather than a bigger or smaller amount): The amout granted in euros matches the total in https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Albert_Schweitzer/Albert_Schweitzer_revised_budget_for_setting_welfare_standards_in_aquaculture.pdf of the 2017 and 2018 budgets for this project. The donation was given as 299,000.00 EUR (conversion done via donor calculation). Other notes: Intended funding timeframe in months: 24; affected countries: Germany; announced: 2017-03-21. |

Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses Intended use of funds: Grant "to support [grantee's] work to end the confinement of hens in battery cages." Donor reason for selecting the donee: The linked blog post https://www.openphilanthropy.org/blog/initial-grants-support-corporate-cage-free-reforms lists several reasons for the general focus on cage-free reforms, and http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/chickens-animal-abuse-video_us_57fac5c5e4b0e655eab5485d describes the reasons for the internationalization phase. Donor reason for donating that amount (rather than a bigger or smaller amount): The amount granted in euros matches the total in https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Albert_Schweitzer/Albert_Schweitzer_Expansion_Budget_Poland.xlsx that should be covered by the grant. The donation was given as 102,000.00 EUR (conversion done via donor calculation). Donor reason for donating at this time (rather than earlier or later): Timing matches the timing of other grants in this second phase (internationalization) of corporate cage-free campaign spending. Intended funding timeframe in months: 24 Donor retrospective of the donation: The followup general support grants https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/albert-schweitzer-foundation-general-support-2017 (2017-09) and https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/albert-schweitzer-foundation-general-support-2019 (2019-08) include support for work similar to this grant.
