Offers free vegan sausages for your next BBQ fundraiser or educational event.

Whether you’re an animal sanctuary, a sports club, a university, a school or a vegan group doing outreach – we want to help make vegan sausages the star of your next BBQ event.
Vegan Australia’s Sizzle for Change campaign aims to:
– Normalise vegan eating by making it easy and accessible,
– Introduce non-vegans to delicious animal-free alternatives and
– Generate revenue for your organisation.
Where to get your vegan sausages: You will have to obtain the vegan sausages for your BBQ yourself, but there is usually a good range available in most supermarkets, such as Woolworths, Coles and many IGAs. Branches can have varying stock, so you may have to try a few in your area.
Steps
– Apply to Vegan Australia to have the cost of your vegan sausages covered, up to the value of $500.
– Once approved, purchase your vegan sausages.
– Host your sizzle with vegan sausages.
– Submit your receipts for reimbursement.
Grant funding is limited and Vegan Australia assesses each application on its merits and our available funds. Grants are capped at $500 per event and are limited to one per year per applicant organisation. Funding is provided for vegan sausages only and is not available for other vegan alternatives, non-vegan sausages, bread, condiments or other supplies. We prefer grant applications for either fundraising for vegan or animal rights causes and organisations or events that may raise public awareness about veganism or animal rights.
