Donate to help farmed animal advocates thrive
Hive is 100% powered by philanthropy, and we’d be thrilled to have your support!
Help power the only globally inclusive, year-round digital home for farmed animal advocates. Through philanthropic support we can offer our programs cost-free to advocates. This makes our community more accessible and inclusive. Your donation will help us fulfill a simple but powerful vision: that everyone that wants to help farmed animals is connected to the people, knowledge, and opportunities that help them thrive. When we thrive as advocates, we can do more for farmed animals.

“My biggest motivator for supporting Hive is that it is a fantastic resource for advocates to network and learn about new opportunities specific to the effective animal advocacy space. Seeing it grow and support more and more advocates is inspiring! Having this space was sorely needed, so kudos to the Hive team for filling this gap.”

Hive’s 2025 Strategy
We are building a digital home for farmed animal advocates worldwide.
Our year-round, globally inclusive online hub empowers 4,000+ advocates across 100+ countries to find the people, resources, and support they need to move from first connection to lasting contribution.
In Hive’s 3rd year we are particularly focused on supporting advocates across Asia and Latin America, regions underserved and underfunded by the movement. Our goal is to become–and continue to be–a truly global community.
We remain focused on Hive Slack as our core program. It creates impact by bringing advocates into the same “virtual room” that nurtures a culture of support and agency, and a focus on effectiveness. To continue to provide value, we’re deepening partnerships across the movement, and more deeply integrating Hive’s own programs.
Hive’s 2025 strategy is our current hypothesis for how we can create an outsized impact for farmed animals. As movement multipliers, we help advocates get meaningfully connected to the people, insights, and opportunities that help them thrive.
Your support matters.
At Hive we cannot rely solely on grants. We do not expect to raise enough to fulfill our goals without the support of individual donors. As of August 2025, we need to raise an additional $220,000 in support to cover our 2026 budget gap. This gap accounts for our expected grant funding over 2026.
Factory farming is an enormous global issue, and yet each of us can make a meaningful difference. Likewise, $220,000 is a significant amount, and yet each gift no matter the size, makes a difference to Hive’s ability to help the global movement.
Hive is proud to be supported by Open Philanthropy, the craigslist Charitable Fund, the EA Animal Welfare Fund, The Navigation Fund, and over 80 donors like you.
