Helping People Help Animals

You can make a difference

By giving effectively, you can help more animals. Your donation to our Recommended Charities will support impactful interventions to reduce the most animal suffering.

Legal Impact for Chickens (LIC) works to make factory-farm cruelty a liability in the United States. LIC files strategic lawsuits for chickens and other farmed animals, develops and refines creative methods to civilly enforce existing cruelty laws in factory farms, and sues companies that break animal welfare commitments. LIC’s first lawsuit, the shareholder derivative case against Costco’s executives for chicken neglect, was featured on TikTok and in multiple media outlets, including CNN Business, Fox Business, The Washington Post, and Meatingplace (an industry magazine for meat and poultry producers). This is the first year that LIC has been recommended by ACE. To learn more, read our 2023 comprehensive review of Legal Impact for Chickens.

I'm passionate about improving the lives of animals, but it's challenging to identify the best charities for making an impact on animal welfare. That's why I love ACE's Recommended Charity Fund; it allows me to take advantage of a team of experts with extensive experience in assessing impact. The fund helps me feel confident that my donations are making a huge impact, and a larger impact than if I tried to find effective charities on my own.
