Theory of Change
The foundation appears to operate on the premise that more rigorous, quantitative data about the distribution of sentience and suffering across species will improve philanthropic allocation in animal welfare. By producing and disseminating the Planetary Animal Welfare Survey (PAWS), the foundation aims to help donors redirect resources to interventions with the highest impact per dollar in terms of reducing animal suffering. This is broadly aligned with effective altruism principles around cause prioritization and scale-weighted moral reasoning.
