Effective Giving, Grounded in Evidence and Empathy
From Neglect To Impact
Countless animals live bleak lives followed by brutal deaths. Their plight is systemically ignored. But by using thoughtful tactics, we can prevent their suffering. Your support of the right charities makes a big difference.
Recommendations To Trust
ACE builds on more than a decade of experience in assessing charities' effectiveness. Our independent researchers are specialized in animal welfare issues and evidence-based solutions to ensure your donation helps animals as much as possible.
Centering Animals
We work to help those animals who suffer to the greatest extent and in the largest numbers. We give moral consideration to each individual with the capacity to suffer, regardless of their species or the cause of their misery.
Building and strengthening the global animal advocacy movement
Movement Grants is our grant program aimed at building and strengthening the global animal advocacy movement. We are interested in funding groups working on various approaches to animal advocacy, especially those that are underfunded, target large numbers of animals, and are in regions with a relatively small animal advocacy movement.
