Animal Charity Evaluators helps people help the most 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.

Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered in the United States dedicated to finding and promoting the most effective ways to help animals. We do this by evaluating and recommending high-impact charities, awarding strategic grants to promising projects, and raising critical funds for the animal advocacy movement. Our ultimate goal is to educate and empower individuals and organizations to make a significant and lasting positive impact on the lives of neglected animals who are often forgotten. ACE envisions a future in which no individual is given less than full moral consideration on the basis of any morally irrelevant feature of their identity, including species membership.

ACE has a unique and influential role within the effective animal advocacy movement. Our global team is composed of experienced professionals in animal advocacy, effective altruism, and research methodology. To date, we have rigorously evaluated 85 charities that work to end factory farming and create meaningful change for farmed and wild animals, and recommended 38 high-impact organizations as effective giving opportunities. Through our strategic grantmaking, we have distributed nearly $20 million to our Recommended Charities and promising advocacy projects around the globe. Since ACE began tracking this metric in 2014, we estimate that we’ve helped to influence at least $81 million within the animal advocacy movement. Over the years, we have built strong partnerships with organizations and researchers, amplifying our collective efforts to improve the lives of as many animals as possible. 

Join us! Together, we can build a future that's kind to *all* species.
