Across the United States, most farmed animal sanctuaries operate with limited staff, inconsistent funding, and an overwhelming daily workload. Many rely almost entirely on donations while carrying the emotional and financial responsibility of caring for animals society has discarded.
As Stephanie Mathers, Founder and CEO of Grants for Animals, says, “The sanctuaries already have 200 percent heart.” What is often missing is structure, and that gap is where sustainability is either built or lost.
In this episode of the Better Life for Animals Podcast, Kathleen Gage talks with Stephanie Mathers about how sanctuaries move from overwhelmed to funded by becoming grant ready.
Stephanie shares how her journey began as a sanctuary volunteer after going vegan in 2012. When a sanctuary director asked how else she could help, her background as an English teacher led her into grant writing. That moment became the bridge between compassion and strategy and the beginning of her work helping animal nonprofits secure funding.
This conversation reframes grant writing as a stability tool, not a magic solution. Stephanie explains why small grants matter, how consistency over time builds momentum, and why grants work best as part of a diversified funding strategy.
