Independent Journalism Relies on You

Sentient is the only non-profit, nonpartisan news outlet that’s solely dedicated to the factory farm beat. We report on the impacts of factory farms — including climate change, the environment, public health, labor rights and animal well-being — and its alternatives. Your support funds a critical mix of rigorous investigative and solutions journalism, along with meat industry myth-busting and fact-checked explainers. Through partnerships with publishers, we also aim to strengthen highly factual reporting on this beat throughout the industry. Donate today to help support this vital work.

In addition, for every $1.50 you give, another generous match donor will donate $1. If you’ve ever considered supporting our work, now is the perfect time — your gift will go even further.


Why Support Sentient?

The trajectory of industrial meat and dairy production continues to be alarming, both in the U.S. and around the world. Yet, unlike the extensive coverage of fossil fuels, gas and oil, the impacts of the meat and dairy industry on the world around us remain largely unreported.

We’re aiming to change that.

How? Through rigorous and research-driven articles, powerful partnerships, writer training programs and valuable journalism tools. Here’s a brief overview of what we’re up to:

  • Reporting: In 2024, over 2.5 million people visited sentientmedia.org. We publish new fact-checked content five days a week without paywalls or advertisements. Our articles explore how factory farming impacts the food system, the planet, our health, laws & policies, science & breakthroughs and more. Our work is ranked ‘highly factual’ by third-party fact-checkers and we’re also members of the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN).
  • Partnerships: We partner with international, national and local media outlets to reach diverse audiences around the world. Through our collaboration with the Public News Service (PNS), we’ve already reached nearly 60 million listeners—primarily in red states and rural communities—introducing many to Sentient’s coverage of factory farming, a topic they may be encountering for the first time. Listen to a sample here.
  • Training: We’ve trained hundreds of established and aspiring writers globally to report on climate and agriculture more effectively through our Food & Farming Journalism Network. We also aim to serve those who have been historically marginalized by mainstream media through our team of writers and our Editorial Fellowship.
  • Resources & Tools: Through the Food & Farming Journalism Network, we equip journalists with resources, tools and information to help them better understand and report on factory farming and its impacts. Resources include fact sheets, tip sheets and an expert database. Later in 2025, we will release a mapping tool that will help reporters investigate the impacts of factory farms on communities, climate and the environment. We host quarterly webinars and monthly online gatherings to keep journalists up-to-date with the latest information on factory farming.
