India Animal Fund
India’s first platform created by seasoned professionals in the corporate sector, that encourages effective giving for animals, bringing together high-value donors, highly efficient non-profits, and a solution based mindset to ensure the reduction of animal suffering
Our Mission
To create a platform for effective giving that produces transparent, independent, evidence-based and actionable recommendations of interventions to demonstrably reduce animal suffering in India, at scale.
Our Vision
A world free of animal harm and exploitation, which prioritizes ending the suffering of all sentient beings independent of species.
With the blessing of His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, and with the support of a galaxy of start, subject-matter experts and corporate leaders, India Animal Fund was launched on the 30th October 2022. Relive that experience, click the link below.
Causes
In agriculture or farms, in the streets, in science ,or in the kitchen, animals are subjected to unimaginable exploitation and abuse. Every Day. Every Hour. Even every second.
Animals are sentient beings, they feel joy & suffering.
They deserve a right to live without fear, hunger and confinement. It is time to stop the clock on this. With your support, we can.
Read through the causes we have picked as areas to focus on
and how we strategise & build projects to redefine
animal well-being.
The Problem
The numbers speak volumes of the state of financial support animal welfare gets in the country. While there’s no authenticated or audited account of money coming in for the cause, our estimates show the number to be dismal.
Shocking, right? There is an urgent need for a platform that could generate and direct more funding towards animal welfare causes. Funding at-scale, especially from corporates, Trusts and Foundations, Family Offices and individuals with a charitable bent of mind. Donating money is fast, easy and allows facilities to use the money where it is needed the most.
You can help make a difference by supporting our cause
Testimonials
Our support from investors is backed by the work put in to
the journey that we have embarked on. Here are few words that they have
shared about us.
When I was very young, my teacher had a special yellow whip, different from an ordinary whip, to discipline me. Although I managed to keep away from it being used, the pain incurred from the yellow holy whip meant for the young Dalai Lama would have been no less than that of an ordinary whip. Similarly, animals have the same feeling of pain when they are subjected to harm and exploitation, just as human beings do. Life is dear to animals as it is to us human beings and since we are supposed to be superior to animals with the ability to judge between right and wrong, let us do the right thing: be kind to animals too. – His Holiness, The Dalai Lama 
It excites me to see a group of experienced professionals taking decisive steps through the India Animal Fund to achieve their vision of an India that is free of harm to animals of all species. They have big plans and have already committed significant resources towards implementing multiple projects based on a well thought out long-term strategy. I am pleased to be India Animal Fund’s supporter, & urge everyone to contribute in their own way to make India a nation that treats all sentient beings with compassion – Ratan Tata 
I am happy that the India Animal Fund is taking this initiative to bring the cause of animal well-being to the Corporate world, and we are proud to support this from Dr Reddy’s as part of our CSR initiative – Satish Reddy 
Many of us own pets, and we’ve had many hours of joy and happiness in their company. And yet, there are hundreds and thousands of dogs and cats who are stray and bereft of the opportunity to be a part of a loving home. I hope that this initiative is able to inspire us all to adopt dogs and cats in the country.- Suresh Narayanan 
Reducing animal suffering has been a twenty year challenge for Mobius. India Animal Fund has delivered meaningful results in a fraction of that time. A great joy to partner with them.- Ari Nessel 
We are happy to support the India Animal Fund team in promoting diet change in India. Their strategic approach impactfully addresses both demand and supply sides. – Shaleen Shah
