2025 was quite a year! Some years feel unusually long, others feel unusually short - across our team, we couldn’t find agreement on how 2025 felt. The farmed animal movement has seen some major wins, but also some major challenges. As we are moving into 2026, we want to take a moment to reflect upon 2025, so we have put together the top resources and updates from all 2025 Hive Highlights editions! All the big things that happened last year - in one email! 🔖
2025 was also a big year for Hive. From growing our team to launching new program and travelling to support advocates across the world, learn more in the Hive Updates section below. 🧡
Let’s make 2026 the best year for animals yet!
Warmly,
Sofia, Angel, and the Hive team

💰 Finding more funding
Funding - the always-looming bottleneck of the farmed animal movement. While the fight against factory farming remains deeply underfunded, we have seen some of the momentum from 2024 carry over into 2025 and noted a few major successes and updates! Here’s a list of fundraising resources from this past year.
Movement tracking and rebrands
During the EA Forum Donation Week, Forum users contributed to a shared fund and decided which organizations receive the money. Two out of three winners in 2025 were animal-related organizations, namely the EA Animal Welfare Fund ($6693.75) and the Shrimp Welfare Project ($4259.66).Farmed Animal Funders rebranded as Senterra Funders, and Open Philanthropy as Coefficient Giving.
Influenced Giving Reports by Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE).
Multiple funders published their grantee reports, e.g. ACE, the EA Animal Welfare Fund, the Strategic Animals Funding Circle, ACX Grants.
Over USD$1M in donations (and $1M in matching!) was raised for farmed animals from Lewis Bollard’s conversation on Dwarkesh Patel’s leading tech podcast. (Also see Lewis’ commentary.)
Senterra Funders directed over $1.5M to 10 organizations through the Aquatic Animal Funding Circle.
State of the Movement 2024 report by Stray Dog Institute.
The India Animal Welfare Funding Circle, a new group that funds Indian nonprofits working on farmed animals, community and working animals, and lab animals.
Evergreen resources

Hive Updates
2025 was a year of growth, experimentation, and focus for Hive - strengthening our team, deepening regional engagement, and refining how we support a more connected and globally impactful farmed animal movement. Here are a few highlights!
🐝 Inside Hive in 2025
We amped up our blogging, focusing on people, stories, and clear explainers about how Hive works. (If you read one thing, we recommend Our 2025 in Review and 2026 Plans and Funding Needs, which lays out what we learned last year and where we’re headed.)
We welcomed new team members: Alexia (Latin America Ambassador), Megan (Communications Lead), and Therese (Team Assistant). Angel also increased her commitment by adding an Asia Ambassador role.
We launched our Global Ambassador Program, providing targeted, culturally-sensitive support for advocates in underserved and underfunded regions, starting with Asia and Latin America.
💝 Thank you for powering Hive
Thank you to everyone who supported Hive during our 2025 year-end fundraising campaign! Together, we have raised $44,500 through a donation match! Our goal was $62,000 ($31,000 in donations to unlock $31,000 in matching funds generously offered by community members and Mobius), and we reached 72% of that target. While this meant leaving some matching funds on the table, raising $44,500 is still a meaningful win! Your support has made a real dent in our 2026 funding gap and allows our team to stay focused on supporting a truly global and impactful farmed animal movement.
📊 Help us track our impact
We’d love your help understanding Hive’s impact. If Hive Highlights in 2025 contributed to your work - whether through a job or volunteer opportunity, funding lead, course or training, collaboration, or new project - we’d really appreciate hearing about it.

Wow. This is by far the most extensive and amazing resource list I have ever seen in our movement. Thank you SO MUCH for putting this together! Especially the continuing education and new organizations. It's always awesome to know that our movement is growing and that there are courses we can take to grow ourselves, too! Thank you.
