Mission & Vision

The ANINOVA Foundation is committed to exposing the abuses in the breeding and slaughter industries and effecting concrete change. Through animal rescues, the support of existing sanctuaries, and educational initiatives, it creates life-saving opportunities for animals from factory farming and fur farming. Its long-term goal is to operate its own sanctuary where rescued animals can spend their remaining years with dignity.

Target groups

The funding programs of the ANINOVA Foundation are aimed at non-profit sanctuaries and animal welfare initiatives that provide rescued farm animals with a species-appropriate home. Furthermore, the target group includes individual and institutional supporters who enable the foundation's work through sponsorships, donations, or volunteer engagement and participate in educational offerings and visitor events at the sanctuaries.
