You create waves of impact

This is a defining moment for our planet and all who call it home. The choices we make today can ensure that people and animals everywhere will have clean air and water, healthy soil, and thriving ecosystems. We know we must reimagine how meat is made in order to create a safer and more just future for everyone. In 2024, donor support led to much-needed wins for alternative proteins. All over the world, we spurred new government investments, regulatory victories, field-boosting research, and technological breakthroughs. 

Our global community of supporters enabled us to:

  • Grow the alternative protein movement by expanding our student-led Alt Protein Project to 70 chapters worldwide.
  • Fill key research gaps through our Research Grant Program and spark the launch of new innovation hubs.
  • Unlock public funds for critical research everywhere we operate.
  • Spotlight the benefits of alternative proteins at global events like Climate Week NYC and COP29 and launch our newest organization, GFI Japan.
