The organization facilitated nonviolence trainings to equip advocates with tools for effective and principled campaigning. In addition, Pax Fauna conducted policy feasibility research focused on potential factory farm restrictions in rural counties, exploring strategic opportunities for local legislative change. Pax Fauna also participated in a multi-organization project to develop and refine key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring pro-animal cultural change in the United States. The organization contributed by evaluating and improving upon a set of initial indicators developed by a coalition of movement leaders, advancing the field's ability to assess progress toward long-term systemic impact.Expenses $198,089 · grants $599
