Your Lever For Change
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." - Archimedes
Lever Foundation is a U.S. 501(c)3 public charity. Our team operates primarily across Asia—Greater China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore—with additional staff in Europe and the Americas. We think like a business. Our bottom line: maximum positive change per dollar spent.
ABOUT LEVER
How Lever Thinks
Asia produces 75% of the world's farm animals and drives 60% of global food emissions. We place staff where impact potential is highest and operational costs are most efficient.
WE ARE GLOBAL
WE FOLLOW THE DATA
Every program runs on metrics. Cost per commitment secured. Animals impacted per dollar. We fund what works, refine what's marginal, and cut what fails.
