Zoë Sigle 🔹

I co-lead grantmaking strategy and execution at the Effective Altruism Animal Welfare Fund. We find and fund the most impactful efforts to end factory farming, improve farmed animal welfare, and tackle neglected causes of animal suffering worldwide.

Previously, I directed advising for major foundations and donors on philanthropic strategy and grantmaking for farmed animals at Senterra Funders, led an international corporate engagement team in securing global corporate animal welfare policies from food companies at Mercy For Animals, and negotiated corporate animal welfare policies at The Humane League. To support the wider animal protection movement, I have mentored and trained organizations around the world in corporate outreach techniques and strategy, spoken at international animal protection and effective altruism conferences, and authored law journal and philanthropic magazine articles.

I hold a Master of Food and Agriculture Law and Policy degree with distinction from Vermont Law School. I received my bachelor’s degree in Biology and Environmental Studies from the University of Colorado Boulder.
