We are
A collective of passionate and driven individuals
Our mission is to improve coordination and collaboration in the farmed animal movement through cultivating impact-focused communities.
Our vision is the end of animal suffering
Our theory of change is rooted in the idea that uniting and empowering advocates can unlock value in the movement. We are strong on our own, but we can be stronger together.
At Hive (formerly Impactful Animal Advocacy), we work towards our mission by cultivating thriving spaces for advocates, enhancing knowledge sharing, and facilitating strategic connections for the movement.
With over 2000 community members worldwide, we are now one of the largest and most engaged communities for productive discussions and initiatives aimed at helping farmed animals.
We aim to remain responsive to our community's needs, foster an environment of support and effectiveness, and continue strengthening the animal advocacy movement.
Our Values
We aim to deliver maximally valuable and time-efficient experiences for Hive Community members
We generously connect individuals with opportunities and resources
We embrace individual agency and proactive initiative to grow the movement
We commit to open discussions about failures, learnings, and future plans
Our ultimate goal is to achieve the highest positive impact for animals
The Impactful Animal Advocacy Newsletter was launched after it was identified as a gap in the movement.
After the newsletter received positive initial traction, the Slack group was launched as a complementary space for discussion and community.
Impactful Animal Advocacy started to see the first indicators of impact and Constance Li provided seed funding.
Co-founders Sofia Balderson and Constance Li started to work full-time at the organization.
Open Philanthropy funding helped to grow the team.
The organization rebranded from Impactful Animal Advocacy to Hive.
