TL;DR

• Seeking $105k–$180k to sustain and expand three programs:
  • AI & Animals documentary dissemination
  • Wild Animal Suffering documentary
  • Seantience: aquatic animal sentience campaign
• Marginal funding enables multilingual translations, documentary distribution, campus outreach, technical reports, Asia-focused engagement, and long-term financial stability.
• Our work targets high-impact, neglected areas with limited existing public-facing resources and strong leverage via early outreach.
• Funding is used with relative operational frugality: 0–17% fundraising, 66–90% programs depending on tier.

• We maintain a 2,000-page multilingual library, have given 300+ talks globally, and develop training materials such as a 27-unit course on wild animal welfare and advocacy.
• In our recent work we emphasize on advocacy in Asia, including collaborations in India, China, and Japan and releases such as the Hindi wild-animal-advocacy course and recent release of our documentary Seantience, as well as a forthcoming documentary on AI and animals.
