Helping People
Help Animals
Do you want to help animals but find it hard to decide how? That's understandable. Trillions of animals suffer every day on farms and in the wild. The problem is vast and complex, but people around the world are making a difference. At ACE, we use evidence and reason to identify the animal organizations and initiatives that will help the most animals with your donations. With smart and compassionate efforts, we can build a future that's kind to all species.
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.
