Other Ways To Give
We are pleased to provide you with the following opportunities to support ACE and our Recommended Charities. For significant donations, we recommend making a wire transfer, donating via Every.org or the PayPal Giving Fund, or sending a check to avoid credit card fees.
Every.org
Every.org is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. When you make a donation to ACE via Every.org, they immediately issue a U.S. tax receipt for your donation, and then they make a disbursement to ACE. If you donate with your bank account, 100% of processing fees are covered. This platform supports recurring and one-time donations. Every.org also issues a tax receipt at the end of the year for all of your charitable gifts. Learn more about this process on their FAQ page.
If you wish to support our Recommended Charities, please let us know after you donate via Every.org so that we can allocate your gift appropriately.
PayPal Giving Fund
When you donate through the PayPal Giving Fund, all fees are covered by PayPal, and 100% of your donation will go to your designated charity. You can make a donation using your bank account or credit card. Your receipt will be issued by the PayPal Giving Fund. It typically takes 15–45 days for PayPal to distribute your donation to the recipient charity. Unfortunately, the PayPal Giving Fund does not currently support monthly donations or donations from all countries.
Through the PayPal Giving Fund you can make a fee-free online gift to Animal Charity Evaluators or search for one of our Recommended Charities. Please let us know if you made a gift to one of our Recommended Charities through the PayPal Giving Fund.
Zelle (U.S. bank accounts only)
Download the free Zelle mobile banking app or use Zelle through your bank’s website or mobile app. Make a fee-free donation to ACE by sending money to operations@animalcharityevaluators.org. Please include any desired restriction (e.g., Recommended Charity Fund, Movement Grants) in the memo line or email us directly.

For information on how to transfer funds electronically to ACE and/or our Recommended Charities, please contact ACE’s Development Director, Heather Herrell.
One of the best ways that you can leave a legacy of compassion and create effective change for years to come is to leave a gift for animals in your will or living trust. At the time of disbursement, your gift to or through ACE will be used to reduce as much suffering as possible in the most effective manner possible.
Donating appreciated long-term securities (stocks, bonds, and mutual funds) directly to charity can be a smart way to increase your contribution to effective animal charities and maximize your tax deduction. By donating securities directly to ACE rather than selling them and donating the proceeds after you have paid capital gains taxes you will be able to deduct their full fair market value and donate up to 20% more to charity.1 Upon receiving your gift, ACE will sell your securities and donate the money to the charity/charities of your choosing.
We recommend speaking with your financial planner or tax advisor to determine the best opportunity for you. Once you have decided to donate your appreciated securities to ACE, one of our Recommended Charities, the Recommended Charity Fund, and/or Movement Grants, please contact ACE’s Development Director Heather Herrell for information on how to make your donation.
Over 18 million employees in the U.S. work for companies that provide matching gift programs, and yet $6-10 billion in matching gift funds go unclaimed each year.
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees. Additionally, some employers provide a service that allows you to designate a percentage of your paycheck to charity. For example, if you were to select ACE as your recipient, this amount would be automatically deducted from your paycheck and sent to ACE on your behalf. Please inquire with your company’s Human Resources Department to see if they offer a workplace giving program.
