Our Impact
We connect farmed animal advocates to increase their impact.
An impactful connection can
change your life.
Your new connections may refer you to a job, or co-found a project, or provide you with research that allows you to be significantly more impactful in your work.
Hive focuses on connections because they have been neglected in the farmed animal advocacy movement. Traditional routes of networking, such as in-person conferences, are difficult for a global movement that is funding-constrained. This leaves a large proportion of advocates lacking resources and opportunities.
We see this gap as an opportunity to help all advocates get connected and collaborate on meaningful work for farmed animals.

Theory of Change
By cultivating online spaces through our Hive Community Slack, centralizing and enhancing access to key information through the Hive Highlights and Hive Slack Threads newsletters, and facilitating strategic connections, we will increase and improve knowledge exchange and create more and stronger connections between farmed animal advocates and farmed animal advocacy organizations.
This will lead to increased support for existing advocates and projects, and increased collaboration between advocates.
These in turn will lead to existing farmed animal advocates and farmed animal advocacy projects being more impactful, as well as more impactful farmed animal advocacy projects being started, ultimately reducing more animal suffering or reducing animal suffering faster.
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.
