Zoë Sigle

As the Director of Philanthropic Advising & Programs at Farmed Animal Funders, a community of major philanthropists powering a future free from factory farming, I lead our bespoke advising and build out member programs, such as pooled funds, funding circles, member calls, and in-person retreats.

Additionally, I serve as a Fund Manager with the Effective Altruism Animal Welfare Fund, where I investigate, recommend, and track promising grants to reduce or prevent the suffering of animals around the world. 

Previously, as the Global Director of Corporate Engagement at Mercy For Animals, I led an international team in partnering with global food companies to develop strong animal welfare policies for the farmed animals in their supply chains. To support the wider animal protection movement, I have mentored and trained organizations around the world in corporate outreach techniques and strategy, and spoken at international animal protection and effective altruism conferences.

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.
