Why Philanthropists Support SAL: For a World Where Being Kind Is Just as Important as Not Being Cruel
It’s often said that the goal is not to live forever, but to create something that will. Philanthropy embodies this principle, driving meaningful, lasting impact. At the Sentient Animal Law Foundation (SAL), your support powers a pivotal reform that forms the foundation for every other animal-related organization and initiative. By advancing positive animal welfare law, SAL creates systemic change that benefits animals, people, and the environment—ensuring a future where kindness and sustainability are the norm.
In 2019, the Australian Capital Territory became the first jurisdiction in the world to define sentience in law, establishing duties of care for animals’ positive states. This groundbreaking step demonstrated how a single reform could elevate standards of care and deliver measurable change. Now, Victoria and South Australia are poised to expand on this achievement, proving that SAL’s approach is both scalable and transformative.
Unlike organizations focusing on individual campaigns, SAL addresses the root of systemic change. By evolving the foundational legal framework, we empower countless animal welfare, environmental, and sustainability efforts, enabling them to achieve their missions under a stronger, more progressive rulebook.
We understand the vast array of projects and causes that philanthropists like you support to make a difference for animals, people, and the world we share. What sets SAL apart is its focus on evolving the legal foundation under which all those causes operate. This is not just one project or campaign—it is the one change that drives transformation across ALL projects, ALL animals, ALL people, and ALL uses of animals today and for generations to come.
You’re invited to join us in shaping a legacy of compassion and sustainability—to give a life enjoyed, not just endured. By evolving the law, we transform societal attitudes for everyone who’s ever said, “It’s the law,” fostering a world where being kind is just as important as not being cruel.
