The Open Philanthropy Project awarded a grant of $500,000 over two years to Global Animal Partnership (GAP) to support the improvement and expansion of its 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating program.
This grant is intended to allow GAP to invest in strengthening its standards and audit oversight, and developing its business model and revenue streams. We believe that this will increase the likelihood of GAP’s certification scheme becoming the recognized benchmark for farm animal welfare, which companies can ultimately be encouraged to adopt through corporate campaigns.
