Pilot Program: Legal and Financial Support for Emerging Vegan NGOs AND Businesses

Program Motivation

A significant number of vegan businesses and advocacy organizations fail to survive beyond their first year of operation. Despite strong missions and community support, many lack the legal, financial, and administrative guidance necessary to build solid foundations. This leads to common pitfalls such as regulatory non-compliance, poor financial planning, contractual vulnerabilities, and burnout — ultimately forcing them to scale down or close entirely. As a result, promising initiatives that could contribute to a more ethical, plant-based future are lost before reaching their potential.
