What Animal & Vegan Advocacy International Inc does
Mission
Animal and Vegan Advocacy International, Inc. is dedicated to creating a world in which animals are removed from the food system and other human uses. It furthers this mission by convening advocates through an international conference series and engaging in charitable, educational, and scientific activities consistent with its exempt purpose.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In 2024, AVA International significantly expanded its global impact by organizing three major conferences in the United States, Vietnam, and Brazil-bringing together thousands of professionals and thought leaders in the animal protection movement. Each event served as a critical platform for knowledge exchange, strategic collaboration, and the promotion of effective, culturally relevant approaches to animal advocacy. By hosting these conferences across diverse regions, AVA strengthened its commitment to building a truly international movement, fostering cross-border partnerships, and supporting organizations in amplifying their impact. The 2024 conference series underscored AVA's role as a convener and catalyst for progress in animal protection worldwide.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 67% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ANIMAL & VEGAN ADVOCACY INTERNATIONAL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ANIMAL & VEGAN ADVOCACY INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
97% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ANIMAL & VEGAN ADVOCACY INTERNATIONAL INC.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
67% of ANIMAL & VEGAN ADVOCACY INTERNATIONAL INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $375k that is directly attributable, 87% of it comes from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 6 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $770k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
