“I am proud to be a donor and supporter of Thrive – a truly visionary organization that holds a unique and invaluable place in advancing food justice worldwide. Thrive provides critical supports small, grassroots organizations that advocate for compassionate and culturally appropriate alternatives to industrialized animal agriculture. Thrive’s relationships with grantees and donors are rooted in trust, a long-term vision of change, and belief in the power of the global majority to move the world towards plant-based solutions. As an individual donor, it can be difficult to know where to best direct resources aimed at ending factory farming; the needs are overwhelming and the movement is often under-resourced and overlooked by traditional philanthropy. Thrive’s focus on supporting the work that is already happening, investing in relationships and ongoing partnerships, and implementing a global approach to food justice is inspiring and yields tangible results. I have no doubt that my contribution to Thrive directly benefits the people and organizations that provide viable alternatives to factory farming."

Thrive also goes beyond "just" funding, with active campaigns such as Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week that reinforce and create strong networks on the ground with local organizations. This and other types of grassroots movement-building provide both immediate benefits and long-term, sustainable change in some of the world's most underserved areas with great potential and high returns.”
