Support the beating heart of animal advocacy
Our supporters are not just funding conferences. They are building the foundation of our movement’s future.
If social movement theory makes one thing clear, it’s that movements don’t grow in isolation. They grow through connection. Moments of convening are not just symbolic, they’re strategic.
Your support will help us:
Bring more advocates together, by providing 130-150 Travel Awards for every Summit, prioritizing neglected regions to expand plant-based advocacy in new areas
Support the retention of advocates through specialized training on impactful vegan messaging and strategic campaigning
Sustain AVA’s work to make the long-term impact we know it can, accelerating the shift toward a world free from animal suffering.
Your donation empowers our global attendees to learn, collaborate, and thrive.
You help us amplify underrepresented voices, unite change makers across borders, and build a global movement that advances meaningful, lasting change for farmed animals.
It’s thanks to supporters like you that every voice can join this conversation and push for a more compassionate, sustainable future. Thank you!

AVA International is a 501(c)3 nonprofit (EIN: 93-4095273) registered under U.S. tax law as a charitable organization.
Why support AVA events?
Your investment strengthens the global movement for farmed animals.
AVA exists to fill a critical gap in the animal advocacy ecosystem: we create the strategic in-person spaces where advocates, funders, researchers, organizations, and emerging leaders can connect, align, and scale impact together. No other organization provides this level of cross-regional coordination, skill-building, and movement infrastructure — and the ROI is exponential.
When you fund AVA, you are not supporting one campaign or one organization. You are strengthening all of them.
Our events lead to:
New funding pipelines that move resources where they’re most needed
Cross-movement collaboration that prevents duplication and accelerates progress
Skill development and leadership growth that expand the movement’s capacity
Regional representation and equity, ensuring voices from the Global South are included and supported
Real-world outcomes, from legislative shifts to organizational launches to continental alliances
AVA is the beating heart of the global animal advocacy movement. It makes advocates and funders accelerate progress for animals. AVA is crucial if we want to create lasting change.
AVA Summit Attendee, 2025
One of AVA’s biggest strengths is that it brings people together. It serves as a reason for board meetings, FAF strategy sessions, student connections, and more. While external folks often focus on the program itself—critiquing the speaker lineup or logistics—some of AVA’s real value lies in what happens around the edges: the conversations and collaborations that aren’t formally organized by AVA, but are made possible because of it.”
Monica Chen, New Roots Institute
Having attended nearly every AVA event, I can say it’s one of the most powerful connectors in our movement — a diverse place to learn what others are doing, meet the leaders behind the work, and form collaborations that strengthen us all.”
Lucas Alvarenga, Mercy For Animals
AVA events have been invaluable for my work in the alternative protein space in China and Asia. They helped me connect with others focused on the region, contribute to global communications, and gain a clearer sense of the movement’s direction. I left recharged, inspired, and better connected."
Jeff Zhou, Compassion in World Farming
A donation to AVA delivers movement-wide impact. It multiplies capacity, accelerates collaboration, and ensures that funding, knowledge, and opportunities reach the people doing the work on the ground — across regions, languages, and experience levels.
