The Kinder Ground Mission
Supporting the farming community to elevate the welfare of animals in food production.
Our vision is a world that shares responsibility for cultivating kindness, compassion, and respect for the animals and people that sustain us. Together, we can make a difference.

We’re providing grants to fund proven or innovative projects that elevate farm animal welfare.
-
We’re partnering with organizations working toward a more compassionate food system to amplify our impact.
-
We’re making compassion contagious, sharing our learnings and resources with the farming community.
What Makes Us Different: The Kinder Ground Approach
In order to create a constructive and pragmatic path to change, we follow a values-based approach. Our values will help us achieve our mission.
Funding Allocation
Kinder Ground has committed that, unless directed otherwise, 100% of on-line donations received are dedicated to support our projects. Check out our annual reports to see our operating budget and how we manage funds from our partners.
Kinder Ground Foundation Endowment funds are used specifically to fund the management of Kinder Ground. Endowment funds will be managed to protect the principal, and grow over time, to make increasing payouts to fund the mission. The dedicated endowment enables Kinder Ground’s promise to dedicate 100% of its on-line donations and gifts to projects. A core belief of Kinder Ground is that everyone has to have skin in the game. Our founders donated initial project funds and operating budget, volunteering their time until the foundation’s endowment can support general business expenses and salaried positions dedicated to managing Kinder Ground projects.
