Sustaining Circle Donors
Join us in creating a just global food system.
Thrive Philanthropy envisions a future where 100% of our operations costs are covered by a community of committed, visionary, multi-year donors so that we may focus all our fundraising efforts on expanding our grantmaking pooled fund and other resources for global grantees.
By joining Thrive’s Sustaining Circle, you will be a part of Thrive’s inaugural visionary donors that make this dream a reality.
Members of our Sustaining Circle donate between $1,000 - $50,000 USD or more for at least 2 years to underwrite Thrive’s operations. Sustaining Circle members become part of an intimate and highly valued community with special access to Thrive’s inner workings and will receive personalized updates and opportunities to connect with Thrive’s leadership team, governance team, or grantees.
Together with your support, we will realize Thrive’s vision of a world where factory farming is history and everyone has access to nutritious, sustainable plant-based food that is safe for the planet, animals, and human communities, and a vision of the world where philanthropy is equitable, effective, and just.
We look forward to connecting with you.

“As a long-time partner and founding board director of Thrive Philanthropy, I'm impressed by their conscientious approach and deep understanding of impactful philanthropy, especially in Africa, Asia, and the Global South more generally. Thrive also goes beyond "just" funding, with active campaigns such as 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.”

“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."
