Our programs.

Launched in 2024, Growing Plant-Based is a first-of-its-kind nonprofit inspiring and supporting plant-based dietary transitions within families raising children. Through advocacy and practical resources, we provide a unique platform equipping parents and caregivers from all walks of life to reap the benefits for children in their care, and proceed with confidence at every stage.

 

​​We create change through two core programs:

1. Educate and upskill.

 

We raise awareness on the health, environmental and animal welfare benefits of plant-based diets across the early life stages, and equip parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools to raise happy, healthy plant-based children with ease and enjoyment.

2. Unite and uplift.

We are growing a community of support to connect plant-based and vegan families, and conducting advocacy to create a more inclusive environment within wider society, so that plant-powered living becomes increasingly accessible for all.

Our vision

A world that is healthy, sustainable and compassionate

for the children of today and tomorrow.

How we started

Our founder Sarah Warner has been committed to a plant-based lifestyle since 2015 when a short online video introduced her to some of the hidden realities behind everyday animal-based foods.

 

Embarking on a journey of discovery, she soon learned about the many ways that a vegan way of life aligns with values that most of us share, offering a pathway to flourishing for all.

 

Inspired to align her professional life with these values, Sarah brought her finance and leadership expertise to roles with Australian nonprofits dedicated to bringing about a societal shift towards a kind, healthy and sustainable world.

 

With the arrival of her twin boys in 2021 came two new reasons to care about creating a better world. As they grew, so did an idea for a dedicated nonprofit that champions all elements of raising happy, healthy plant-powered children.

 

And so, in 2024, Growing Plant Based was born: a new hub to facilitate and encourage families with children at every step of their plant-based journey.

 

Wherever you and your family are on this journey - and wherever you are in the world - you are welcome here!
