In short, roughly 260 million hens are currently confined in battery cages in the U.S. In our page about a grant made to The Humane League (THL) for work on cage-free egg campaigns, we wrote in greater depth about the benefits of cage-free systems and the track record of cage-free campaigns. CIWF USA’s work focuses on reducing the suffering of egg-laying hens and broiler chickens in the United States. Background 1.1 The causeįarm animal welfare is one of our focus areas within U.S. We expect this expanded staff to enable CIWF USA to engage many more companies, while also allowing the executive director to increase the amount of time spent on her core task of securing corporate reforms. This $550,000 grant over two years will allow it to hire two new corporate engagement staff, one operations staff member, and a public engagement manager. CIWF USA’s Executive Director Leah Garces has built relationships with major food companies and we think she has a compelling vision for advancing broiler welfare reforms.ĬIWF USA is a small organization with an annual budget of roughly $450,000. CIWF USA’s work focuses on two issues that we believe are likely to account for the majority of terrestrial farm animal suffering: the treatment of egg-laying hens and of broiler chickens raised for meat. The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $550,000 over two years to Compassion in World Farming USA (CIWF USA) for general support.ĬIWF USA is a farm animal welfare organization that shares our belief that incremental reform through corporate campaigns is one of the most likely paths to reducing farm animal suffering in the U.S.
