"Why should the law refuse its protection to any sensitive being?" -Jeremy Bentham

What is it like to be a shrimp? I have no idea, but we farm a vast number of them and should probably treat them better in case they are suffering.

Factory farming is expanding globally and the animal welfare movement is badly underfunded. ACE Movement Grants seems like a great way to support a diversity of smaller organizations working on this cause and trying different approaches.

Legal Impact for Chickens (LIC) works to protect farmed animals by enforcing the law. LIC brings thoughtful lawsuits for chickens and other farmed animals. We civilly enforce existing cruelty laws in agriculture. LIC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit law firm and a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (SPCA).

Legal Impact For Chickens

We guide the shrimp farming industry towards higher welfare practices for a more sustainable and ethical future.

Shrimp Welfare Project is the first organization to focus exclusively on improving farmed shrimp welfare. Their efforts include corporate and producer outreach and raising awareness about the welfare of farmed shrimps. The organization collaborates with stakeholders across the supply chain, including retailers and medium-to-large shrimp producers, to improve welfare standards. 

Shrimp Welfare Project also runs the Sustainable Shrimp Farmers of India, which takes a farmer-centric approach to improving welfare standards on farms in the country. 

Shrimp Welfare Project conducts and disseminates relevant research and participates in effective altruism, animal welfare, and shrimp farming industry conferences to increase the visibility of shrimp welfare as a neglected and tractable issue.

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.

I donate to reduce suffering. Animal farming seems like the biggest preventable cause of it, but very little is spent trying to improve it.
