About Us

A happier, healthier, and greener world for all.

We inspire people to be vegan to save the world!

VEGAN ACTION

Vegan Action is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (FIN# 94-3224024) works to eliminate animal suffering, reduce environmental impacts, and improve human health through a vegan diet.

 

Created in 1995, Vegan.org is one of the oldest and most visited vegan websites in the world. Our efforts over the past 25 years include certifying thousands of vegan products with our logo through our Vegan Certification Campaign by:

* introducing humane organizations to veganism with our Humane Outreach Campaign,

  • * bringing vegan food into public and private facilities nationwide with our Food Service Campaign,
  • * educating animal welfare organizations about the connection of care for companion animals and veganism
  • * leading cooking and plant-based nutrition lessons to students and community groups
  • * sharing the compelling ideas behind veganism with thousands of people with our Share Vegan Campaign and additional tabling events.
  • We also raise awareness to over a quarter of a million people a year through this website.
