2 billion animals are in our daily systems. 0 animals are on our dashboards.
Animal welfare cuts across multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) intersecting with public health, climate resilience, sustainability, and food security but remains invisible and underfunded. India Animal Fund uses an interconnected approach, which identifies ‘white spaces’ across animal, human and planetary health, enables collaborations among organisations, and directs capital to support ‘One Health’-aligned interventions, creating scalable, measurable impact across sectors. When Animals Thrive, So Does the World.
Our Theory of Change
Animal welfare remains a strategic cause that is overlooked despite its interconnectedness with human and planetary health. Hence, IAF was founded as a backbone organisation to: catalyse collaborations and partnerships among NGOs; advise funders on funding approaches to align with CSR mandates and philanthropic giving; undertake monitoring & evaluation to enable transparency and measure impact; and systematically bring an end to animal suffering.
