the world <3

Your subscription funds projects that make our world a better place.

You choose how much of your subscription goes to our Impact Fund, a portfolio of charities curated by experts for maximum impact per dollar across a diversified range of nature and animal related cause areas. We find the best charities around the world creating systematic change, so you don't have to.

The rest goes to the voting pool. We bring you the best new ideas from around the world, and our community votes for which of those ideas to fund.

Periodically there are “project drops”: new batches of projects for you to vote on. When a new drop happens, we'll send you a notification, and you can go in our app, browse the projects, and “like” your favorites.

After voting closes, the winner is determined by the “like” count. After a project wins, we disburse funding, and you can stay updated on the project in our app.

In some cases, the projects you vote on are curated by the nohotdog.love team. In other cases, we'll have “open applications,” where anyone can apply. Either way, winners are determined through in-app voting.

Each animal has a dedicated charity. For example, for shrimp we have the Shrimp Welfare Initiative, for fish the Fish Welfare Project, for chickens The Humane League, and so on. These charities either directly improve the welfare of these animals, or else prevent their suffering indirectly by promoting alternatives to factory farmed products.

Some of our projects abate carbon emissions by promoting food system reform, e.g. plant-based alternatives to factory farming. Other projects, like those we fund through Climeworks, support direct carbon removal, e.g. biochar, reforestation, afforestation, etc.

Our portfolio both protects existing ecosystems, and restores damaged ecosystems.

First, our portfolio protects existing ecosystems by fighting industrial agriculture, the leading cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss. Specifically, the charities in our portfolio support plant-based alternatives, which lowers the demand for meat (and therefore the amount of deforestation). They also fight against “greenwashing”, a strategy large corporations use to hide the environmental damage they cause.

Second, our portfolio restores natural ecosystems through nature-focused carbon removal projects. Specifically, through Climateworks, we fund nature-based carbon removal projects including reforestation, afforestation, mangroves, and biochar.

Occasionally on our website you'll see these estimations of impact. To make these estimates, we use an impact calculator developed by the non-profit FarmKind. Based on the historical track records of a charity, they estimate how many dollars it takes for that charity to deliver its impact, e.g. prevent a farm animal from suffering.

100% of your money goes to project funding, except for the payment processing fees taken by Stripe or Apple. See our public funding ledger.

No. Due to the nature of our offerings, your contributions are not legally considered to be donations, and so are not eligible for tax deductions.
