Thought to share some infographics on animal advocacy org expenses from the Stray Dog Institute's 2024 State of the Movement report, which I learned about via Moritz's excellent post.
Most org spending is in North America and Europe:
North American and European orgs accounted for most of the spend in sub-Saharan Africa and LATAM & the Caribbean, despite spending (say) only ~1% of their total expenses in SSA:
I don't have any good sense of how this Global North-dominated funding potentially skews priorities, but this drill down by animal category may be a start:
As well as this drill down by intended outcome. Naively it seems that SSA's allocation looks like North America's for instance, except that the latter has a greater proportion of org spending going to increasing availability of animal-free products, which makes sense given relative wealth:
For what it's worth, here's what the funding allocations look like for animal categories as a whole: mostly terrestrial animals, mostly farmed.
I'd be keen to get takes from folks in the know on what seems underfunded here. Farmed insects jump out: just $135k out of $260m overall (~0.05%) seems nuts.
I also wonder about the skewing of priorities due to outside funding. Moritz wrote
which I agree with; another angle is Tom & Karthik's point that
although it also isn't clear to me from the infographics above whether meaningful change in their sense would be reflected in the drill downs.
